How to get detailed information of users authenticated with Waffle?


I am using Spring Security combined with Waffle to authenticate the users of my webapp. I configured Spring Security with the following configuration:

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.servlet.configuration.EnableWebMvcSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.www.BasicAuthenticationFilter;

import waffle.servlet.spi.BasicSecurityFilterProvider;
import waffle.servlet.spi.NegotiateSecurityFilterProvider;
import waffle.servlet.spi.SecurityFilterProvider;
import waffle.servlet.spi.SecurityFilterProviderCollection;
import waffle.spring.NegotiateSecurityFilter;
import waffle.spring.NegotiateSecurityFilterEntryPoint;
import waffle.windows.auth.impl.WindowsAuthProviderImpl;

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private NegotiateSecurityFilterEntryPoint entryPoint;

    @Autowired
    private NegotiateSecurityFilter filter;

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(entryPoint);
        http.addFilterBefore(filter, BasicAuthenticationFilter.class).authorizeRequests().anyRequest()
                .fullyAuthenticated();
    }

    @Bean
    public WindowsAuthProviderImpl windowsAuthProviderImpl() {
        return new WindowsAuthProviderImpl();
    }

    @Bean
    public NegotiateSecurityFilterProvider negotiateSecurityFilterProvider(final WindowsAuthProviderImpl authProvider) {
        return new NegotiateSecurityFilterProvider(authProvider);
    }

    @Bean
    public BasicSecurityFilterProvider basicSecurityFilterProvider(final WindowsAuthProviderImpl authProvider) {
        return new BasicSecurityFilterProvider(authProvider);
    }

    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterProviderCollection securityFilterProviderCollection(
            final NegotiateSecurityFilterProvider negotiateSecurityFilterProvider,
            final BasicSecurityFilterProvider basicSecurityFilterProvider) {
        return new SecurityFilterProviderCollection(new SecurityFilterProvider[] { negotiateSecurityFilterProvider,
                basicSecurityFilterProvider });
    }

    @Bean
    public NegotiateSecurityFilterEntryPoint negotiateSecurityFilterEntryPoint(
            final SecurityFilterProviderCollection securityFilterProviderCollection) {
        final NegotiateSecurityFilterEntryPoint entryPoint = new NegotiateSecurityFilterEntryPoint();

        entryPoint.setProvider(securityFilterProviderCollection);

        return entryPoint;
    }

    @Bean
    public NegotiateSecurityFilter negotiateSecurityFilter(
            final SecurityFilterProviderCollection securityFilterProviderCollection) {
        final NegotiateSecurityFilter filter = new NegotiateSecurityFilter();

        filter.setProvider(securityFilterProviderCollection);

        return filter;
    }

}

The authentication process is working as expected, but I can only read the name of the currently logged in user in a controller like this:

@RequestMapping("/")
public @ResponseBody String index(final Principal user) {
    return String.format("Welcome to the home page, %s!", user.getName());
}

For the authorization I would like to assign roles to the users that I define in a database and additional information (like email-adresses, phone number, etc.) are stored in Active Directory. How can these information automatically be merged?


Solution

  • I created another filter that is fired after the Waffle filter ran. It checks if Waffle authenticated a user. If so, I create my own Authentication object with the information from the Waffle object.

    Update

    In the meantime I went back to form based login. But I think I did it like this:

    A custom UserDetails class:

    @Data
    public class User implements UserDetails {
    
        private static final long serialVersionUID = -302856598965676658L;
    
        private String username;
    
        private Set<Role> authorities;
    
        @Override
        public Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> getAuthorities() {
            return authorities;
        }
    
        @Override
        public String getPassword() {
            return "";
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean isAccountNonExpired() {
            return true;
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean isAccountNonLocked() {
            return true;
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean isCredentialsNonExpired() {
            return true;
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean isEnabled() {
            return true;
        }
    
    }
    

    A custom GrantedAuthority class:

    @Data
    public class Role implements GrantedAuthority {
    
        private static final long serialVersionUID = -7912276892872811638L;
    
        private String authority;
    
        @Override
        public String getAuthority() {
            return authority;
        }
    
    }
    

    The custom authentication class:

    public class CustomAuthentication implements Authentication {
    
        private static final long serialVersionUID = -1723253799961522167L;
    
        private User user;
    
        public CustomAuthentication(final User user) {
            this.user = user;
        }
    
        @Override
        public String getName() {
            return user.getUsername();
        }
    
        @Override
        public Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> getAuthorities() {
            return user.getAuthorities();
        }
    
        @Override
        public Object getCredentials() {
            return null;
        }
    
        @Override
        public Object getDetails() {
            return null;
        }
    
        @Override
        public Object getPrincipal() {
            return user;
        }
    
        @Override
        public boolean isAuthenticated() {
            return user != null;
        }
    
        @Override
        public void setAuthenticated(boolean isAuthenticated) throws IllegalArgumentException {
        }
    
    }
    

    The custom filter:

    @Component
    public class CustomFilter extends GenericFilterBean {
    
        @Autowired
        private UserService userService;
    
        @Override
        public void doFilter(final ServletRequest request, final ServletResponse response, final FilterChain chain)
                throws IOException, ServletException {
            final SecurityContext securityContext = SecurityContextHolder.getContext();
            final Authentication authentication = securityContext.getAuthentication();
    
            if (authentication != null) {
                final String username = authentication.getName();
                final User user = userService.getUserByUsername(username);
                final CustomAuthentication customAuthentication = new CustomAuthentication(user);
    
                securityContext.setAuthentication(customAuthentication);
            }
    
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
        }
    
    }
    

    The registration of the filters:

    @Configuration
    @EnableWebMvcSecurity
    public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    
        @Autowired
        private NegotiateSecurityFilter waffleFilter;
    
        @Autowired
        private CustomFilter customFilter;
    
        @Override
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http.addFilterBefore(waffleFilter, BasicAuthenticationFilter.class);
            http.addFilterAfter(customFilter, NegotiateSecurityFilter.class);
        }
    
    }
