Before Blueriq 10, the HTTP security configuration was defined in XML configuration in the file security-config.xml.

1. Disabling the default HTTP security configuration

...

Code Block
titleapplication.properties
blueriq.security.http.interactions.enabled=false 

2. Overriding the authentication manager

The HTTP security configuration requires an authentication manager bean which is used to authenticate and authorize users when certain URL patterns are requested. In a custom configuration, it is possible to either use a custom authentication manager or use the default Blueriq authentication manager which supports the registration of custom authentication providers. See Runtime Authenticationauthentication for more details about how to register a custom authentication provider with the Blueriq authentication manager. The following example illustrates how the authentication manager can be overridden while keeping the default HTTP security configuration:

...

titleWarning

Apart from changing the authentication manager, the default security configuration is not suitable for extension. 

3. Configurable security headers

Spring' Security headers are disabled by default and re-added based on how security is configured in application.properties. By default, http request methods are by default not restricted, HTTP strict transport security is disabled by default, content sniffing protection is disabled by default, Blueriq's controller are protecetd protected against cross-site reqiest request forgery, and click jackin gprotection jacking protection is default enabled. Please also see Security.

4. Configuring authentication and authorization for URL patterns

...

6. Noaccess.html

Blueriq uses a mechanism that whenever a flow is started, it is checked if the flow requires authentication and the current user has matching credentials. If this is not the case, the user is automatically redirected to the virtual page noaccess.html. This page does not exist, but is merely there to redirect to the login page as shown in the excerpt below from the HTTP security configuration.

...

If one chooses to configure a custom security approach, for instance by passing through credentials via HTTP headers, noaccess.html will not be presented to the end user because of the divergent authentication approach. A custom page that indicates that no access is allowed is in that case out of Blueriq's hands and the responsibility of the project.
