Spring Security - Retaining URL parameters on redirect to login

Question

ok.

lets say I have a secure url pattern

/secure/link-profile

optionally, there can be url paramaters appended.

/se         


        

Answer 1

as per @zagyi's response I just overrode a method in my existing extension of AuthenticationProcessingFilterEntryPoint

the method to override is protected String determineUrlToUseForThisRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, AuthenticationException exception) which is called by buildRedirectUrlToLoginPage(..

@Override
protected String determineUrlToUseForThisRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
        AuthenticationException exception) {
    String url = super.determineUrlToUseForThisRequest(request, response, exception);
    return url + "?" + request.getQueryString();
}

obviously that could be improved to also use a builder of sorts, catering for an existing query string on the url, but at this time I know my login url is always /login/, so this is fine for my purposes
