Class AbstractAuthenticationTargetUrlRequestHandler

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.security.web.authentication.AbstractAuthenticationTargetUrlRequestHandler
Direct Known Subclasses:
SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler, SimpleUrlLogoutSuccessHandler
public abstract class AbstractAuthenticationTargetUrlRequestHandler extends Object
Base class containing the logic used by strategies which handle redirection to a URL and are passed an Authentication object as part of the contract. See AuthenticationSuccessHandler and LogoutSuccessHandler, for example.

Uses the following logic sequence to determine how it should handle the forward/redirect

  • If the alwaysUseDefaultTargetUrl property is set to true, the defaultTargetUrl property will be used for the destination.
  • If a parameter matching the value of targetUrlParameter has been set on the request, the value will be used as the destination. If you are enabling this functionality, then you should ensure that the parameter cannot be used by an attacker to redirect the user to a malicious site (by clicking on a URL with the parameter included, for example). Typically it would be used when the parameter is included in the login form and submitted with the username and password.
  • If the useReferer property is set, the "Referer" HTTP header value will be used, if present.
  • As a fallback option, the defaultTargetUrl value will be used.
