I am building a REST api with different paths that control the data input from a mobile application (which u guessed it, it plays the role of the frontend). I am still in the very first stage of the app development and now I am testing my authorisation session. I have chosen basic auth (httpBasic() - as the method is named) and I want that every request that the mobile app does to the server, I want that to be authenticated. Because, at the moment, if I authenticate once, next time, it does not require to sent the authentication data. Is this possible? This is the function for the authorisation:
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.csrf().disable()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/api/**").hasAuthority("ROLE_USER")
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.httpBasic()
.and().logout()
.clearAuthentication(true)
.invalidateHttpSession(true)
.logoutSuccessUrl("/")
.permitAll();
}
