Spring Security (https://spring.io/projects/spring-security) provides security services for Java-based web applications. The Spring Security project was started in 2003 and was previously named The Acegi Security System for Spring.
By default, Spring Security enables the following features:
- An AuthenticationManager bean with an in-memory single user. The username is user and the password is printed to the console output.
- Ignored paths for common static resource locations, such as /css and /images.
- HTTP basic security for all other endpoints.
- Security events published to Spring's ApplicationEventPublisher.
- Common low-level features are on by default (HSTS, XSS, CSRF, and so forth).
You can include Spring Security in your application by adding the following dependency to the pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId...
