Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add basic authentication?
Add the dependency and Spring Boot auto-configures it. Use @EnableWebSecurity and configure HttpSecurity in a SecurityFilterChain bean.
Is it compatible with Spring Boot 3?
Yes, version 6.x is designed for Spring Boot 3 and requires Java 17+. Use 5.x for older Spring Boot versions.
How to handle JWT authentication?
Use spring-security-oauth2-resource-server for JWT validation. Configure it as a resource server in your security config.
Common error: 403 Forbidden on POST?
Usually a CSRF protection issue. Either include CSRF token in forms or disable CSRF for stateless APIs using http.csrf().disable().
