This tutorial is explained in the below Youtube Video.

Lets Begin-

We will be modifying the code we developed in the previous Spring Boot Security for a Form Application
Maven Project will be as follows-

boot-36_4
The Custom login page login.jsp is as follows-
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %>

<c:set var="contextPath" value=""/>

<body>

<div class="container">

    <form method="POST" action="/login" class="form-signin">
        <h2 class="form-heading">Log in</h2>

        <div class="form-group ">
            <span></span>
            <input name="username" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username"
                   autofocus="true"/>
            <input name="password" type="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password"/>
            <span></span>

            <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Log In</button>
        </div>

    </form>

</div>
<!-- /container -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script></body>
</html>




Next in the Controller, add a GET method which returns the custom login page with RequestMapping of /login.
package com.javainuse.controllers;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

import com.javainuse.model.Employee;
import com.javainuse.service.EmployeeService;

@Controller
public class EmployeeController {

	@Autowired
	EmployeeService employeeService;

	@RequestMapping("/welcome")
	public ModelAndView firstPage() {
		return new ModelAndView("welcome");
	}

	@RequestMapping(value = "/addNewEmployee", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public ModelAndView show() {
		return new ModelAndView("addEmployee", "emp", new Employee());
	}

	@RequestMapping(value = "/addNewEmployee", method = RequestMethod.POST)
	public ModelAndView processRequest(@ModelAttribute("emp") Employee emp) {
		
		employeeService.insertEmployee(emp);
		List<Employee> employees = employeeService.getAllEmployees();
		ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("getEmployees");
		model.addObject("employees", employees);
		return model;
	}

	@RequestMapping("/getEmployees")
	public ModelAndView getEmployees() {
		List<Employee> employees = employeeService.getAllEmployees();
		ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("getEmployees");
		model.addObject("employees", employees);
		return model;
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String login(Model model, String error, String logout) {
        if (error != null)
            model.addAttribute("errorMsg", "Your username and password are invalid.");

        if (logout != null)
            model.addAttribute("msg", "You have been logged out successfully.");

        return "login";
    }

}

Finally modify the Spring Security configuration where we specify the custom Login Page to be called during login.
package com.javainuse.config;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.WebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class EmployeeSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

	@Override
	public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
		web.ignoring().antMatchers("/resources/**");
	}

	@Override
	protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
		http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll().antMatchers("/welcome").hasAnyRole("USER", "ADMIN")
				.antMatchers("/getEmployees").hasAnyRole("USER", "ADMIN").antMatchers("/addNewEmployee")
				.hasAnyRole("ADMIN").anyRequest().authenticated()
				.and().formLogin().loginPage("/login").permitAll()
				.and().logout().permitAll();

		http.csrf().disable();
	}

	@Autowired
	public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder authenticationMgr) throws Exception {
		authenticationMgr.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("admin").password("admin").authorities("ROLE_USER").and()
				.withUser("javainuse").password("javainuse").authorities("ROLE_USER", "ROLE_ADMIN");
	}

}

These are the only changes required.
  • Go to localhost:8080/welcome, we will be redirected to the custom login page.
    boot-36_1
  • Enter wrong password.
    boot-36_2
  • On log out we get the screen as follows-
    boot-36_3
