In this tutorials, we are going show you how to use Spring Boot Basic Authentication.
Spring Boot Basic Authentication :
We can provide the basic authentication for a Spring Boot application by simply adding the below dependency in pom.xml.
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>Technologies :
- Spring Boot 2.0.0.RELEASE
- Spring Security

Create Simple Rest Controller :
HelloController.java
HelloController.java
package com.onlinetutorialspoint;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
public class HelloController {
@RequestMapping("/hello")
@ResponseBody
public String sayHello(){
return "<h2>Greetings.. !</h2>";
}
}
Application.java
Application.java
package com.onlinetutorialspoint;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
Run :
Terminal
mvn clean install
mvn spring-boot:run

On the above console output, we can see the default authentication password. We can use this password to access the application.
User Name : user
Password : ef4512ac-aebc-40f8-b589-37cd3b1fc460
The above password is only for one time, for each time while running the applicaiton, we should get the different password.
Happy Learning 🙂
