Assuming you're using Spring Boot, another option is to put the following in your application.properties:

logging.level.org.springframework.security=DEBUG

This is the same for most other Spring modules as well.

If you're not using Spring Boot, try setting the property in your logging configuration, e.g. logback.

Here is the application.yml version as well:

logging:
  level:
    org:
      springframework:
        security: DEBUG
