Activiti 5.17 Spring dependency

Hi Himani,

We switched to Spring MVC so for the REST API there's no way to use it without the Spring dependencies.
Yes, the SecurityConfiguration is the place to implement this custom logic. There's no non-Spring way to do this.

Best regards,

Is there any documentation or examples on how to accomplish this with Spring SecurityConfiguration?

What are you trying to change? There's a lot of documentation available for Spring Security of course.

Spring security has decent docs imo, typically what you'd do is overwrite this method:

<code>
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
      http
        .authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider())
        .sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS).and()
        .csrf().disable()
        .authorizeRequests()
          .anyRequest().authenticated()
          .and()
        .httpBasic();
    }
</code>

with your own code

Thanks much for the info !!

Can I downlaod the source code of activiti-rest war (in 5.17) from somewhere. I think the Configuration classes in there provide a good start.
org\activiti\rest\conf\SecurityConfiguration

Activiti is open source … all our source code is on Github. This particular class is here: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/master/modules/activiti-rest/src/test/java/org/activiti/rest/conf/common/SecurityConfiguration.java
