Disable Basic Authentication while using Spring Security Java configuration

Question

I am trying to secure a web application using Spring Security java configuration.

This is how the configuration looks:-

Answer 1

In case you use Spring Boot, the documentation states:

To switch off the Boot default configuration completely in a web application you can add a bean with @EnableWebSecurity

So if you want to fully customize itself that might be an option.

Just to make it clear... You just need to put @EnableWebSecurity annotation on your main application class or application configuration class.
