Answer 1

This can be achieved by following approach. In Spring, SecurityContext by default is stored in HttpSession. Instead you can configure it to store in some shared repository.

So, configuration should be changed to use your own SecurityContextRepository implementation instead of HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository. Once configured, the security framework will look at the Repository which is available to all your web applications.

The Repository can be either a database or a cached server.
