Mixing Azure AD and Form Authentication in Spring Boot

Learn how to configure Spring Boot Security to handle multiple authentication methods, specifically integrating `Azure AD` for internal users and `form authentication` for external users in your applications! --- This video is based on the question https://stackoverflow.com/q/72139036/ asked by the user 'Thomas Lang' ( https://stackoverflow.com/u/7320372/ ) and on the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/72196520/ provided by the user 'Thomas Lang' ( https://stackoverflow.com/u/7320372/ ) at 'Stack Overflow' website.

In this guide, we will explore how to effectively mix two authentication modes in a Spring Boot application: Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for internal users and form authentication for external users. Understanding the Challenge In scenarios where you have both internal users (who authenticate via Azure AD) and external users (who authenticate using a custom login form), configuring your security setup can be quite tricky. The challenge here lies in ensuring that the application properly identifies the type of user attempting to access certain routes, ultimately providing the correct authentication flow. Key Requirements Internal Users: Authentication via Azure AD External Users: Authentication via a custom login form Proper Routing: Ensure correct routing to Azure login or custom login based on user type Proposed Solution To successfully implement a mixed authentication setup, we need to configure the Spring Security using two distinct configuration classes: MfaAuthentication: For handling authentication via Azure AD ExternalAuthentication: For handling form-based authentication for external users 1. Configure Azure AD Authentication Let's start with the configuration for Azure AD authentication. [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] 2. Configure Form-Based Authentication Next, we'll set up the external authentication configuration, targeting the appropriate endpoints for form login. [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Important Considerations Routing Logic The application needs to be designed so that /internal/** requests get routed to Azure AD for authentication while /external/** requests are handled by the custom authentication provider. Caution about Mixed Authentication While it's technically feasible to mix internal and external users in a single application, consider the implications on security and maintainability. Keeping separate applications for different user types can often be a cleaner and more secure approach. Conclusion Integrating Azure AD alongside form-based authentication can be accomplished by following the outlined configuration strategies in Spring Boot. As you implement these changes, ensure that routing logic is clear and consider the long-term implications of mixing authentication methods.
