What’s New in Spring Security 6.4

Method Security - AuthorizationManager#check is deprecated in favor of AuthorizationManager#authorize. This is primarily to allow the return type to be an interface instead of a concrete class. If you are invoking AuthorizationManager#check, please invoke AuthorizationManager#authorize instead.spring-doc.cn

Method Security - PrePostTemplateDefaults is deprecated in favor of the more generic AnnotationTemplateExpressionDefaults as there is now meta-annotation property support for @AuthenticationPrincipal and @CurrentSecurityContext as well. If you are constructing a PrePostTemplateDefaults, change this out for an AnnotationTemplateExpressionDefaults.spring-doc.cn

OAuth 2.0 - NimbusOpaqueTokenIntrospector has been deprecated in favor of SpringOpaqueTokenIntrospector in order to remove Spring Security OAuth 2.0 Resource Server’s reliance on the oidc-oauth2-sdk package. If you are constructing a NimbusOpaqueTokenIntrospector, replace it with SpringOpaqueTokenIntrospector's constructorspring-doc.cn

OAuth 2.0 - DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient, DefaultClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient, DefaultJwtBearerTokenResponseClient, DefaultPasswordTokenResponseClient, DefaultRefreshTokenTokenResponseClient, and DefaultTokenExchangeTokenResponseClient are deprecated in favor of their RestClient equivalents.spring-doc.cn

private static class MyCustomConverter
    extends AbstractOAuth2AuthorizationGrantRequestEntityConverter<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest> {
	@Override
    protected MultiValueMap<String, String> createParameters
            (OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest request) {
		MultiValueMap<String, String> parameters = super.createParameters(request);
		parameters.add("custom", "value");
		return parameters;
    }
}

@Bean
OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient authorizationCode() {
	DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient client =
        new DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient();
	Converter<AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest, RequestEntity<?>> entityConverter =
        new OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequestEntityConverter();
	entityConverter.setParametersConverter(new MyCustomConverter());
	client.setRequestEntityConverter(entityConverter);
    return client;
}

private static class MyCustomConverter implements Converter<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest, Map<String, String>> {
	@Override
    public MultiValueMap<String, String> convert(OAuth2AuthorizeCodeGrantRequest request) {
		MultiValueMap<String, String> parameters = OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest.defaultParameters(request);
		parameters.add("custom", "value");
		return parameters;
    }
}

@Bean
OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient authorizationCode() {
	RestClientAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient client =
        new RestClientAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient();
	client.setParametersConverter(new MyCustomConverter());
    return client;
}

SAML 2.0 - Unversioned OpenSAML implementations of Spring Security SAML 2.0 Service Provider’s interfaces have been deprecated in favor of versioned ones. For example, OpenSamlAuthenticationTokenConverter is now replaced by OpenSaml4AuthenticationTokenConverter and OpenSaml5AuthenticationTokenConverter. If you are constructing one of these deprecated versions, please replace it with the one that corresponds to the OpenSAML version you are using.spring-doc.cn

SAML 2.0 - Methods surrounding AssertingPartyDetails are deprecated in favor of equivalent methods that use the AssertingPartyMetadata interface.spring-doc.cn

LDAP - Usages of DistinguishedName are now deprecated in order to align with Spring LDAP’s deprecationsspring-doc.cn

Spring Security now supports One-Time Token Login via the oneTimeTokenLogin() DSL, including JDBC support.spring-doc.cn

All method security annotations now support Framework’s @AliasForspring-doc.cn

@AuthenticationPrincipal and @CurrentSecurityContext now support annotation templates.spring-doc.cn

@Target(TargetType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@AuthenticationPrincipal("claims['{claim}']")
@interface CurrentUsername {
	String claim() default "sub";
}

// ...

@GetMapping
public String method(@CurrentUsername("username") String username) {
	// ...
}

annotation CurrentUsername(val claim: String = "sub")

// ...

@GetMapping
fun method(@CurrentUsername("username") val username: String): String {
	// ...
}

Several improvements were made to align Security’s annotation search with AbstractFallbackMethodSecurityMetadataSource's algorithm. This aids in migration from earlier versions of Spring Security.spring-doc.cn

Native applications can now use @AuthorizeReturnObjectspring-doc.cn

Native applications can now reference beans in @PreAuthorize and @PostAuthorizespring-doc.cn

SecurityAnnotationScanners offers a convenient API for scanning for Security annotations and for adding Security’s selection and templating features to custom annotationsspring-doc.cn

ClientRegistrations now supports externally obtained configurationspring-doc.cn

Added loginPage() to DSL in reactive oauth2Login()spring-doc.cn

OIDC Back-Channel support now accepts logout tokens of type logout+jwtspring-doc.cn

RestClient can now be configured with OAuth2ClientHttpRequestInterceptor to make protected resources requestsspring-doc.cn

Added RestClient-based implementations of OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient for more consistent configuration of access token requests.spring-doc.cn

@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig {

	@Bean
	public OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest> authorizationCodeAccessTokenResponseClient() {
		return new RestClientAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient();
	}

	@Bean
	public OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2RefreshTokenGrantRequest> refreshTokenAccessTokenResponseClient() {
		return new RestClientRefreshTokenTokenResponseClient();
	}

	@Bean
	public OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest> clientCredentialsAccessTokenResponseClient() {
		return new RestClientClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient();
	}

	@Bean
	public OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<JwtBearerGrantRequest> jwtBearerAccessTokenResponseClient() {
		return new RestClientJwtBearerTokenResponseClient();
	}

	@Bean
	public OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<TokenExchangeGrantRequest> tokenExchangeAccessTokenResponseClient() {
		return new RestClientTokenExchangeTokenResponseClient();
	}

}

@Configuration
class SecurityConfig {

	@Bean
	fun authorizationCodeAccessTokenResponseClient(): OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2AuthorizationCodeGrantRequest> {
		return RestClientAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient()
	}

	@Bean
	fun refreshTokenAccessTokenResponseClient(): OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2RefreshTokenGrantRequest> {
		return RestClientRefreshTokenTokenResponseClient()
	}

	@Bean
	fun clientCredentialsAccessTokenResponseClient(): OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<OAuth2ClientCredentialsGrantRequest> {
		return RestClientClientCredentialsTokenResponseClient()
	}

	@Bean
	fun jwtBearerAccessTokenResponseClient(): OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<JwtBearerGrantRequest> {
		return RestClientJwtBearerTokenResponseClient()
	}

	@Bean
	fun tokenExchangeAccessTokenResponseClient(): OAuth2AccessTokenResponseClient<TokenExchangeGrantRequest> {
		return RestClientTokenExchangeTokenResponseClient()
	}

}

Token Exchange now supports refresh tokensspring-doc.cn

Added OpenSAML 5 Support. Now you can use either OpenSAML 4 or OpenSAML 5; by default, Spring Security will select the right implementations based on what’s on your classpath.spring-doc.cn

Using EntityIDs for the registrationId is simplified.spring-doc.cn

Asserting Parties can now be refreshed in the background according to the metadata’s expiry.spring-doc.cn

@Component
public class RefreshableRelyingPartyRegistrationRepository implements IterableRelyingPartyRegistrationRepository {
	private final AssertingPartyMetadataRepository assertingParties = OpenSaml5AssertingPartyMetadataRepository
		.fromTrustedMetadataLocation("https://idp.example.org").build();

	@Override
	public RelyingPartyRegistration findByRegistrationId(String registrationId) {
		AssertingPartyMetadata assertingParty = this.assertingParties.findByEntityId(registrationId);
		return RelyingPartyRegistration.withAssertingPartyMetadata(assertingParty)
			// relying party configurations
			.build();
	}

	// ...
}

@Component
open class RefreshableRelyingPartyRegistrationRepository: IterableRelyingPartyRegistrationRepository {
	private val assertingParties: AssertingPartyMetadataRepository = OpenSaml5AssertingPartyMetadataRepository
		.fromTrustedMetadataLocation("https://idp.example.org").build()

	override fun findByRegistrationId(String registrationId): RelyingPartyRegistration {
		val assertingParty = this.assertingParties.findByEntityId(registrationId)
		return RelyingPartyRegistration.withAssertingPartyMetadata(assertingParty)
			// relying party configurations
			.build()
	}

	// ...
}

You can now sign relying party metadataspring-doc.cn

RelyingPartyRegistrationRepository results can now be cached. This is helpful if you want to defer the loading of the registration values til after application startup. It is also helpful if you want to control when metadata gets refreshed via Spring Cache.spring-doc.cn

To align with the SAML 2.0 standard, the metadata endpoint now uses the application/samlmetadata+xml MIME typespring-doc.cn

CSRF BREACH tokens are now more consistentspring-doc.cn

The Remember Me cookie now is more customizablespring-doc.cn

Security Filter Chain finds more invalid configurations. For example, a filter chain declared after an any-request filter chain is invalid since it will never be invoked:spring-doc.cn

@Bean
@Order(0)
SecurityFilterChain api(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http
        // implicit securityMatcher("/**")
        .authorizeHttpRequests(...)
        .httpBasic(...)

    return http.build();
}

@Bean
@Order(1)
SecurityFilterChain app(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http
        .securityMatcher("/app/**")
        .authorizeHttpRequests(...)
        .formLogin(...)

    return http.build();
}

@Bean
@Order(0)
fun api(val http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
    http {
		authorizeHttpRequests {
			// ...
		}
	}
    return http.build()
}

@Bean
@Order(1)
fun app(val http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
    http {
		securityMatcher("/app/**")
		authorizeHttpRequests {
			// ...
		}
	}
    return http.build()
}
