Implementations of AbstractSecurityExpressionHandler (such as the very commonly used DefaultWebSecurityExpressionHandler) get PermissionEvaluator and RoleHierarchy from the application context (if the application context is provided, and exactly one of such a bean exists in it). This approach matches that used in GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration, making everything in Spring Security work the same way (including WebSecurity).
Issue gh-4077
The validation does not work due to restrictions within the servlet
container. Specifically we cannot access the servlets that are registered.
This commit reverts the validation logic for MvcRequestMatcher to determine
if servletPath is required.
Fixes gh-4027
Previously if a Bean for GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration's
defaultMethodExpressionHandler was found on a Configuration that also
@Autowired a Bean that enabled method security, the Bean that was
@Autowired would not have security enabled.
This fixes the issue by delaying the lookup of Beans populated on
GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration's defaultMethodExpressionHandler.
Fixes gh-4020
Previously the following:
http http://localhost:8080/user \
"X-Requested-With:XMLHttpRequest" "Accept:text/plain"
Produced a 302 instead of a 401
Fixes gh-3887
Previous to this commit, custom rolePrefix was not propagated to
LdapAuthoritiesPopulator populating a wrong authority. Now, rolePrefix
is propagated and the authority is as expected.
Fixes gh-3921
AuthenticationConfiguration.getAuthenticationManager() now supports
recursion. This is necessary in instances where something using
@EnableGlobalAuthentication requires an object using method level security.
Fixes gh-3935
Previously the SecurityExpressionHandler for message based configuration
did not have a beanResolver set.
This commit post processes the default message SecurityExpressionHandler
to ensure the beanResolver is set.
Fixes gh-3797
Previously it required quite a bit of extra work to use RoleHiearchy
within Java Based Spring Security configuration.
Now if a single RoleHiearchy Bean is defined it will automatically
be picked up and used by method security.
Fixes gh-3394
Perviously there were issues with case insenstive patterns and URI
variables that contained upper case characters. For example, the pattern
"/user/{userId}" could not resolve the variable #userId Instead it was
forced to lowercase and #userid was used.
Now if the pattern is case insensitive then so is the variable. This means
that #userId will work as will #userid.
Fixes gh-3786
