Spring Security 4 Hibernate Password Encoder Bcrypt Example

This tutorial shows Password Encoding in Spring Security 4 using BCryptPasswordEncoder. We will take a Spring MVC 4, Hibernate 4 & Spring Security 4 example to demonstrate a real-world setup involving login authentication and user creation.Both Annotation + XML based projects are available for download at the end of this post. Let’s get going.


A word on Password Encoding

Any application, which takes Security seriously, should NEVER store passwords in plain text format. Passwords should always be encoded using a secure hashing algorithm. There are many standard algorithms like SHA or MD5 which combined with a proper SALT can be a good choice for password encoding. Spring Security provides BCryptPasswordEncoder, and implementation of Spring’s PasswordEncoder interface that uses the BCrypt strong hashing function to encode the password.

Where all possibly do we need Password Encoding in application?

1. During password comparison. Encode input password before comparing with the one stored in database(which is encoded)
2. During New user creation/existing user password updation. Encode the new input password before saving/updating in database.

Changes compare to previous posts?

1. Create & Inject PasswordEncoder into AuthenticationProvider & set it as authentication provider on AuthenticationManagerBuilder

package com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.password.PasswordEncoder;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

 @Autowired
 @Qualifier("customUserDetailsService")
 UserDetailsService userDetailsService;
 
 
 @Autowired
 public void configureGlobalSecurity(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
  auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService);
  auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider());
 }
 
 
 @Bean
 public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
     return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
 }
 
 
 @Bean
 public DaoAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider() {
     DaoAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider = new DaoAuthenticationProvider();
     authenticationProvider.setUserDetailsService(userDetailsService);
     authenticationProvider.setPasswordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
     return authenticationProvider;
 }
 
 @Override
 protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
   http.authorizeRequests()
    .antMatchers("/", "/home").permitAll()
    .antMatchers("/admin/**","/newuser").access("hasRole('ADMIN')")
    .antMatchers("/db/**").access("hasRole('ADMIN') and hasRole('DBA')")
    .and().formLogin().loginPage("/login")
    .usernameParameter("ssoId").passwordParameter("password")
    .and().csrf()
    .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/Access_Denied");
 }
}

Above setup will take care of password comparisons during Authentication anywhere in application.

Above security configuration in XML configuration format would be:

<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
    xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.1.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-4.0.xsd">
     
    <http auto-config="true" >
        <intercept-url pattern="/" access="permitAll" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/home" access="permitAll" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/admin**" access="hasRole('ADMIN')" />
        <intercept-url pattern="/dba**" access="hasRole('ADMIN') and hasRole('DBA')" />
        <form-login  login-page="/login" 
                     username-parameter="ssoId" 
                     password-parameter="password" 
                     authentication-failure-url="/Access_Denied" />
        <csrf/>
    </http>
 
    <authentication-manager >
        <authentication-provider user-service-ref="customUserDetailsService">
            <password-encoder ref="bcryptEncoder"/>
        </authentication-provider>
    </authentication-manager>
     
    <beans:bean id="bcryptEncoder" class="org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder" />

    <beans:bean id="customUserDetailsService" class="com.websystique.springsecurity.service.CustomUserDetailsService" />
    
</beans:beans>

2. Update UserService to include password encoding before saving new password in database.

@Service("userService")
@Transactional
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService{

 @Autowired
 private UserDao dao;
 
 @Autowired
 private PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder;

 
 public void save(User user){
  user.setPassword(passwordEncoder.encode(user.getPassword()));
  dao.save(user);
 }
 
 public User findById(int id) {
  return dao.findById(id);
 }

 public User findBySso(String sso) {
  return dao.findBySSO(sso);
 }
 
}

That’s all you have to do to setup password encoding in your application using Spring Security’s BCrypt implementation.

Complete code example is shown below.

Database Schema Part

Step 3: Create Database Schema & Populate dummy data

/*All User's gets stored in APP_USER table*/create table APP_USER (
   id BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   sso_id VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
   password VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
   first_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
   last_name  VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
   email VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
   state VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,  
   PRIMARY KEY (id),
   UNIQUE (sso_id)
);
 
/* USER_PROFILE table contains all possible roles */ 
create table USER_PROFILE(
   id BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   type VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (id),
   UNIQUE (type)
);
 
/* JOIN TABLE for MANY-TO-MANY relationship*/  
CREATE TABLE APP_USER_USER_PROFILE (
    user_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
    user_profile_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (user_id, user_profile_id),
    CONSTRAINT FK_APP_USER FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES APP_USER (id),
    CONSTRAINT FK_USER_PROFILE FOREIGN KEY (user_profile_id) REFERENCES USER_PROFILE (id)
);

/* Populate USER_PROFILE Table */INSERT INTO USER_PROFILE(type)
VALUES ('USER');

INSERT INTO USER_PROFILE(type)
VALUES ('ADMIN');

INSERT INTO USER_PROFILE(type)
VALUES ('DBA');


/* Populate one Admin User which will further create other users for the application using GUI */INSERT INTO APP_USER(sso_id, password, first_name, last_name, email, state)
VALUES ('sam','$2a$10$4eqIF5s/ewJwHK1p8lqlFOEm2QIA0S8g6./Lok.pQxqcxaBZYChRm', 'Sam','Smith','samy@xyz.com', 'Active');


/* Populate JOIN Table */INSERT INTO APP_USER_USER_PROFILE (user_id, user_profile_id)
  SELECT user.id, profile.id FROM app_user user, user_profile profile
  where user.sso_id='sam' and profile.type='ADMIN';

Note that we have inserted one user manually(we do need one Admin user to actually login and create further users for application). This is a real-world scenario. Notice the password. It’s generated using below mentioned utility class [it could even have been a script] which is used only and only to generate a password for one initial Admin user. It can well be removed from application.

package com.websystique.springsecurity.util;

import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;

public class QuickPasswordEncodingGenerator {

 /**
  * @param args
  */ public static void main(String[] args) {
   String password = "abc125";
   BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
   System.out.println(passwordEncoder.encode(password));
 }

}

Above program generates the encoded password we used in above Schema. Please do note that you may get a different value for the same password as BCrypt hashing algorithm generates a different hash value of length 60 each time it’s encode gets invoked.

Security Part

Step 4: Add Spring Security Configuration Class

package com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.password.PasswordEncoder;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

 @Autowired
 @Qualifier("customUserDetailsService")
 UserDetailsService userDetailsService;
 
 
 @Autowired
 public void configureGlobalSecurity(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
  auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService);
  auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider());
 }
 
 
 @Bean
 public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
     return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
 }
 
 
 @Bean
 public DaoAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider() {
     DaoAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider = new DaoAuthenticationProvider();
     authenticationProvider.setUserDetailsService(userDetailsService);
     authenticationProvider.setPasswordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
     return authenticationProvider;
 }
 
 @Override
 protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
   http.authorizeRequests()
    .antMatchers("/", "/home").permitAll()
    .antMatchers("/admin/**","/newuser").access("hasRole('ADMIN')")
    .antMatchers("/db/**").access("hasRole('ADMIN') and hasRole('DBA')")
    .and().formLogin().loginPage("/login")
    .usernameParameter("ssoId").passwordParameter("password")
    .and().csrf()
    .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/Access_Denied");
 }
}

Step 5: Register the springSecurityFilter with war

Below specified initializer class registers the springSecurityFilter [created in Step 3] with application war.

package com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration;

import org.springframework.security.web.context.AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer;

public class SecurityWebApplicationInitializer extends AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer {

}

Above setup in XML configuration format would be:

<filter>
    <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Step 6: Define UserDetailsService implementation

This service is responsible for providing authentication details to Authentication Manager.

package com.websystique.springsecurity.service;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.authority.SimpleGrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import com.websystique.springsecurity.model.User;
import com.websystique.springsecurity.model.UserProfile;

@Service("customUserDetailsService")
public class CustomUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService{

 @Autowired
 private UserService userService;
 
 @Transactional(readOnly=true)
 public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String ssoId)
   throws UsernameNotFoundException {
  User user = userService.findBySso(ssoId);
  System.out.println("User : "+user);
  if(user==null){
   System.out.println("User not found");
   throw new UsernameNotFoundException("Username not found"); 
  }
   return new org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User(user.getSsoId(), user.getPassword(), 
     user.getState().equals("Active"), true, true, true, getGrantedAuthorities(user));
 }

 
 private List<GrantedAuthority> getGrantedAuthorities(User user){
  List<GrantedAuthority> authorities = new ArrayList<GrantedAuthority>();
  
  for(UserProfile userProfile : user.getUserProfiles()){
   System.out.println("UserProfile : "+userProfile);
   authorities.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_"+userProfile.getType()));
  }
  System.out.print("authorities :"+authorities);
  return authorities;
 }
 
}

SpringMVC Part

Step 7: Add Controller

package com.websystique.springsecurity.controller;

import java.util.List;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.validation.Valid;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication;
import org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.SecurityContextLogoutHandler;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

import com.websystique.springsecurity.model.User;
import com.websystique.springsecurity.model.UserProfile;
import com.websystique.springsecurity.service.UserProfileService;
import com.websystique.springsecurity.service.UserService;

@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {

 @Autowired
 UserProfileService userProfileService;
 
 @Autowired
 UserService userService;
 
 @RequestMapping(value = { "/", "/home" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String homePage(ModelMap model) {
  model.addAttribute("greeting", "Hi, Welcome to mysite");
  return "welcome";
 }

 @RequestMapping(value = "/admin", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String adminPage(ModelMap model) {
  model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
  return "admin";
 }

 @RequestMapping(value = "/db", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String dbaPage(ModelMap model) {
  model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
  return "dba";
 }

 @RequestMapping(value = "/Access_Denied", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String accessDeniedPage(ModelMap model) {
  model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
  return "accessDenied";
 }

 @RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String loginPage() {
  return "login";
 }

 @RequestMapping(value="/logout", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String logoutPage (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
  Authentication auth = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
  if (auth != null){    
   new SecurityContextLogoutHandler().logout(request, response, auth);
  }
  return "redirect:/login?logout";
 }

 
 @RequestMapping(value = "/newUser", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String newRegistration(ModelMap model) {
  User user = new User();
  model.addAttribute("user", user);
  return "newuser";
 }

 /*
  * This method will be called on form submission, handling POST request It
  * also validates the user input
  */ @RequestMapping(value = "/newUser", method = RequestMethod.POST)
 public String saveRegistration(@Valid User user,
   BindingResult result, ModelMap model) {

  if (result.hasErrors()) {
   System.out.println("There are errors");
   return "newuser";
  }
  userService.save(user);
  
  System.out.println("First Name : "+user.getFirstName());
  System.out.println("Last Name : "+user.getLastName());
  System.out.println("SSO ID : "+user.getSsoId());
  System.out.println("Password : "+user.getPassword());
  System.out.println("Email : "+user.getEmail());
  System.out.println("Checking UsrProfiles....");
  if(user.getUserProfiles()!=null){
   for(UserProfile profile : user.getUserProfiles()){
    System.out.println("Profile : "+ profile.getType());
   }
  }
  
  model.addAttribute("success", "User " + user.getFirstName() + " has been registered successfully");
  return "registrationsuccess";
 }

 
 
 
 private String getPrincipal(){
  String userName = null;
  Object principal = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();

  if (principal instanceof UserDetails) {
   userName = ((UserDetails)principal).getUsername();
  } else {
   userName = principal.toString();
  }
  return userName;
 }
 
 
 
 @ModelAttribute("roles")
 public List<UserProfile> initializeProfiles() {
  return userProfileService.findAll();
 }

}

Step 8: Add SpringMVC Configuration Class

package com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.format.FormatterRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ViewResolverRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView;

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.websystique.springsecurity")
public class HelloWorldConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
 
 @Autowired
 RoleToUserProfileConverter roleToUserProfileConverter;
 
 
 @Override
 public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
  InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
  viewResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
  viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
  viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
  registry.viewResolver(viewResolver);
 }
 
 /*
     * Configure ResourceHandlers to serve static resources like CSS/ Javascript etc...
     *
     */    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("/static/**").addResourceLocations("/static/");
    }
    
    /*
     * Configure Converter to be used.
     * In our example, we need a converter to convert string values[Roles] to UserProfiles in newUser.jsp
     */    @Override
    public void addFormatters(FormatterRegistry registry) {
        registry.addConverter(roleToUserProfileConverter);
    }
    
    
}

Only interesting thing in this class is registration of a converter who will be responsible for converting an id into an Object.This is required to handle one-to-many relationship in JSP. During User creation, A User can be allocated multiple roles/userProfiles, and so we need a converter to map a particular role/userProfile to a user based on profile id. Below provided is the converter class.

Above Converter setup in XML configuration will be:

 <mvc:annotation-driven conversion-service="conversionService"/>

 <bean id="conversionService" class="org.springframework.format.support.FormattingConversionServiceFactoryBean">
 
  <property name="converters">
   <list>
    <bean id="roleToUserProfile" class="com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration.RoleToUserProfileConverter" />
   </list>
  </property>
 </bean>

Step 9: Add SpringMVC Converter Class

package com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import com.websystique.springsecurity.model.UserProfile;
import com.websystique.springsecurity.service.UserProfileService;

@Component
public class RoleToUserProfileConverter implements Converter<Object, UserProfile>{

 @Autowired
 UserProfileService userProfileService;

 /*
  * Gets UserProfile by Id
  * @see org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter#convert(java.lang.Object)
  */ public UserProfile convert(Object element) {
  Integer id = Integer.parseInt((String)element);
  UserProfile profile= userProfileService.findById(id);
  System.out.println("Profile : "+profile);
  return profile;
 }
 
 /*
  * Gets UserProfile by type
  * @see org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter#convert(java.lang.Object)
  */ /*
 public UserProfile convert(Object element) {
  String type = (String)element;
  UserProfile profile= userProfileService.findByType(type);
  System.out.println("Profile ... : "+profile);
  return profile;
 }
 */
}

Step 10: Add Initializer class

package com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration;

import org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer;

public class SpringMvcInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {

 @Override
 protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
  return new Class[] { HelloWorldConfiguration.class };
 }
 
 @Override
 protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
  return null;
 }
 
 @Override
 protected String[] getServletMappings() {
  return new String[] { "/" };
 }

}

Hibernate Configuration Part

Step 11: Create Hibernate Configuration

Hibernate configuration class contains @Bean methods for DataSource, SessionFactory & Transaction Manager. Datasource properties are taken from
application.properties file and contains connection details for MySQL database.

package com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration;

import java.util.Properties;

import javax.sql.DataSource;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScan({ "com.websystique.springsecurity.configuration" })
@PropertySource(value = { "classpath:application.properties" })
public class HibernateConfiguration {

    @Autowired
    private Environment environment;

    @Bean
    public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory() {
        LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
        sessionFactory.setDataSource(dataSource());
        sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan(new String[] { "com.websystique.springsecurity.model" });

DAO, Model & Service Part

Step 12: Create Model classes

A User can have multiple roles [DBA,ADMIN,USER]. And a Role can be assigned to more than one user. Hence there is a Many-To-Many relationship between a User and UserProfile[role]. We kept this relationship uni-directional [User to UserProfile] as we are only interested in finding Roles for a give user (and not vice-versa). We will be using Many-To-Many association using Join table.

Step 16: Build and Deploy the application

Now build the war (either by eclipse/m2eclipse) or via maven command line( mvn clean install). Deploy the war to a Servlet 3.0 container . Since here i am using Tomcat, i will simply put this war file into tomcat webapps folder and click on start.bat inside tomcat bin directory.

Run the application
Open browser and goto localhost:8080/SpringSecurityPasswordEncodingWithBcryptExample/

Now try to access localhost:8080/SpringSecurityPasswordEncodingWithBcryptExample/admin, you will be prompted for login, provide Admin Role credentials (sam,abc125)(only user in system at this moment)

Submit

Click on Add Some Users link

Fill in details [password : abc123], select USER as Role

Submit.

Click Again on Add Some Users link, fill in details [password : abc127] , Select ADMIN,DBA as roles

Submit

Click on logout. Fill in DBA credentials (kenny,abc127) (as created in previous step)

Submit. Now try to access localhost:8080/SpringSecurityPasswordEncodingWithBcryptExample/db

Logout

Verify Database

That’s it. Next post shows you Remember-Me authentication using Spring Security 4 with Hibernate.
