Answer 1

I dunno if it can be helpful but I couldn't implement the above solution. I found a workaround defining a single Security

@Configuration class

extending

WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter

with both httpBasic() and formLogin() configured. Then I created a custom

CustomAuthEntryPoint implements AuthenticationEntryPoint

that has this logic in the commence method:

    @Override
    public void commence(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, AuthenticationException authException) throws IOException, ServletException
   {
        String urlContext = UtilityClass.extractUrlContext(request);
        if (!urlContext.equals(API_URL_PREFIX))
        {
            String redirectUrl = "urlOfFormLogin"
            response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + redirectUrl);
       }
        else
        {
            response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
        }

Dunno which is the "best practice strategy" about this issue

Waited for 2 days and didn't get any help here. But my research provided me a solution :)

Solution

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvcSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(securedEnabled = true, prePostEnabled = true, proxyTargetClass = true)
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter{

    @Autowired
    private AuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider;

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.authenticationProvider(authenticationProvider);
    }

    @Configuration
    @Order(1)
    public static class ApiWebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter{
        @Override
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http.csrf().disable()
                    .antMatcher("/api/**")
                    .authorizeRequests()
                        .anyRequest().hasAnyRole("ADMIN", "API")
                        .and()
                    .httpBasic();
        }
    }

    @Configuration
    @Order(2)
    public static class FormWebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter{

        @Override
        public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
            web.ignoring().antMatchers("/css/**", "/js/**", "/img/**", "/lib/**");
        }

        @Override
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http.csrf().disable() //HTTP with Disable CSRF
                    .authorizeRequests() //Authorize Request Configuration
                        .antMatchers("/connect/**").permitAll()
                        .antMatchers("/", "/register").permitAll()
                        .antMatchers("/admin/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
                        .anyRequest().authenticated()
                        .and() //Login Form configuration for all others
                    .formLogin()
                        .loginPage("/login").permitAll()
                        .and() //Logout Form configuration
                    .logout().permitAll();
        }
    }
}
