Summary
In this chapter, we have applied a very basic Spring Security configuration. The main objective was to outline the steps and key concepts involved in implementing Spring Security in Spring 6 applications. To achieve this goal, we started by importing the sample application, then updating dependencies, configuring Spring Security, and managing web configurations, and in the end, we addressed common issues.
Additionally, we explained how to customize the user’s login and logout experience and demonstrated how to display basic information based on roles and SpEL. We finished this chapter by customizing behavior after login.
In the next chapter, we will discuss how authentication in Spring Security works and how we can customize it to our needs.
