= Testing HTTP Basic Authentication |
|
|
|
While it has always been possible to authenticate with HTTP Basic, it was a bit tedious to remember the header name, format, and encode the values. |
|
Now this can be done using Spring Security's `httpBasic` xref:servlet/test/mockmvc/request-post-processors.adoc[`RequestPostProcessor`]. |
|
For example, the snippet below: |
|
|
|
==== |
|
.Java |
|
[source,java,role="primary"] |
|
---- |
|
mvc |
|
.perform(get("/").with(httpBasic("user","password"))) |
|
---- |
|
|
|
.Kotlin |
|
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"] |
|
---- |
|
mvc.get("/") { |
|
with(httpBasic("user","password")) |
|
} |
|
---- |
|
==== |
|
|
|
will attempt to use HTTP Basic to authenticate a user with the username "user" and the password "password" by ensuring the following header is populated on the HTTP Request: |
|
|
|
[source,text] |
|
---- |
|
Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA== |
