What is httpBasic method in spring security?

问题

I override configure(HttpSecurity http) method in SampleSecurityConfig Class like this

@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    http
        .authorizeRequests()
        .antMatchers("/delete/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
        .anyRequest().authenticated()
        .and()
        .formLogin().and().httpBasic();
}

If i don't use httpBasic method, it seems no problem occurred.

what does httpBasic method exactly do?

回答1:

Calling this method on HttpSecurity will enable Http Basic Authentication for your application with some "reasonable" defaults.

It will return a HttpBasicConfigurer for further customization.

You can test this by curl and passing a header like Authorization: Basic bzFbdGfmZrptWY30YQ== but base64 encoding a valid username/password combination.
