org.springframework.security.web.authentication
Class LoginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.security.web.authentication.LoginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, AuthenticationEntryPoint

public class LoginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint
extends Object
implements AuthenticationEntryPoint, InitializingBean

Used by the ExceptionTranslationFilter to commence a form login authentication via the UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.

Holds the location of the login form in the loginFormUrl property, and uses that to build a redirect URL to the login page. Alternatively, an absolute URL can be set in this property and that will be used exclusively.

When using a relative URL, you can set the forceHttps property to true, to force the protocol used for the login form to be HTTPS, even if the original intercepted request for a resource used the HTTP protocol. When this happens, after a successful login (via HTTPS), the original resource will still be accessed as HTTP, via the original request URL. For the forced HTTPS feature to work, the PortMapper is consulted to determine the HTTP:HTTPS pairs. The value of forceHttps will have no effect if an absolute URL is used.

Since:

3.0

commence

public void commence(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,

              throws IOException,
                     javax.servlet.ServletException

Performs the redirect (or forward) to the login form URL.

authException - that caused the invocation

Throws:

IOException

javax.servlet.ServletException

buildRedirectUrlToLoginPage

protected String buildRedirectUrlToLoginPage(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                             javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,

Throws:

IOException

setForceHttps

public void setForceHttps(boolean forceHttps)

Set to true to force login form access to be via https. If this value is true (the default is false), and the incoming request for the protected resource which triggered the interceptor was not already https, then the client will first be redirected to an https URL, even if serverSideRedirect is set to true.

isForceHttps

protected boolean isForceHttps()

setPortResolver

public void setPortResolver(PortResolver portResolver)

getPortResolver

protected PortResolver getPortResolver()

setUseForward

public void setUseForward(boolean useForward)

Tells if we are to do a forward to the loginFormUrl using the RequestDispatcher, instead of a 302 redirect.

Parameters:

useForward - true if a forward to the login page should be used. Must be false (the default) if loginFormUrl is set to an absolute value.

isUseForward

protected boolean isUseForward()
