Limitation of Form Login Page:
In a full-stack application, when you're using a user interface (UI) framework, it might not use the default login page provided by Spring Boot's security system. This can be a limitation because it may not integrate well with your UI.
To overcome this limitation, you can use basic authentication.
This means you set up a way for clients (like a web browser) to send a username and password securely. This means that for every RESTful request you make to your application, you include authentication information in the request headers.
Details of Basic Authentication:
Header Name: You should use "Authorization" as the header name.
Header Value: The value of the "Authorization" header should be in the format "basic base64_encoded_username:password".
Example:
Let's say you want to secure a specific part of your application that's accessible at a path like "/xxxxx." You also want to make sure only users with certain roles ("xxxx") can access it. Here's how you'd do it:
Authorization.csrf().disable() // This is about turning off CSRF protection
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatcher("xxxxx") // We're specifying the URL path we want to secure
.hasAnyRole("xxxx") // We're specifying the roles that are allowed to access this
.and() // We're connecting this configuration
.httpBasic() // This is where we set up HTTP Basic Authentication
By using basic authentication in this way, you can create a more customized and user-friendly login experience for your full-stack application, rather than relying on the default Spring Boot Security login JSP page.
