How to configure Spring Security to send 'X-CSRF-TOKEN'?

问题

The problem is to get the CSRF tokens working between Spring Security and Angular.

Spring Security CSRF Token Interceptor for Angular seems like something that should do the job, but there is no 'X-CSRF-TOKEN' in the HEAD response from the server.

My current tiny implementation is available in GitHub (Tag v.1.0) and I would appreciate a lot if somebody who knows the topic would have a quick look on the code, the problem should be easy to spot.

Based on the documentation, I am under the impression that CSRF should have been enabled automatically, but that seems not to be the case.

I am using Spring Boot and prefer the annotation-based configuration over XML, if something needs to be configured differently.

Any other approaches to make Spring Security work against Angular?

Angular looks for a cookie called "XSRF-TOKEN" I believe, so the easiest thing to do for the client is to send that. You can do it in a Filter for instance (example from https://github.com/spring-guides/tut-spring-security-and-angular-js/blob/master/single/src/main/java/demo/UiApplication.java#L65):

    private Filter csrfHeaderFilter() {
        return new OncePerRequestFilter() {
            @Override
            protected void doFilterInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
                    HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain)
                    throws ServletException, IOException {
                CsrfToken csrf = (CsrfToken) request.getAttribute(CsrfToken.class
                        .getName());
                if (csrf != null) {
                    Cookie cookie = new Cookie("XSRF-TOKEN", csrf.getToken());
                    cookie.setPath("/");
                    response.addCookie(cookie);
                }
                filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
            }
        };
    }

Update: since spring security 4.2 the correct cookie name for angular is used by default if you use the cookie csrf repository(the link is still the best source), i.e. there is no longer any need for a custom filter. Example:

@Configuration
@Order(SecurityProperties.ACCESS_OVERRIDE_ORDER)
protected static class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
                ...
                .and()
            .csrf()
                .csrfTokenRepository(CookieCsrfTokenRepository.withHttpOnlyFalse());
