Class VaadinSecurityContextHolderStrategy

java.lang.Object

de.codecamp.vaadin.security.spring.authentication.VaadinSecurityContextHolderStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolderStrategy

public class VaadinSecurityContextHolderStrategy
extends Object
implements org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolderStrategy

A SecurityContextHolderStrategy that also uses the current VaadinSession, if available, to determine the SecurityContext. Otherwise the behavior is that of the default SecurityContextHolder.MODE_THREADLOCAL.

After authentication the SecurityContext is (unless configured otherwise) stored in the HTTP session via a HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository, which can be accessed wherever the current VaadinSession is available. However, security contexts with an anonymous authentication are not saved and instead recreated with every request by the AnonymousAuthenticationFilter. This means that when e.g. accessing the Vaadin UI from a background thread no authentication would be available; Spring Security however expects any kind of Authentication when checking access rights. For that reason the VaadinSecurityContextStorageUIInitListener always stores the latest anonymous authentication in the Vaadin session.
