As said in reference for Spring Security 4.0.4:
In order to use Spring Security with Spring MVC Test it is necessary to add the Spring Security FilterChainProxy
as a Filter
. It is also necessary to add Spring Security’s TestSecurityContextHolderPostProcessor
to support Running as a User in Spring MVC Test with Annotations. This can be done using Spring Security’s SecurityMockMvcConfigurers.springSecurity()
.
Example:
import static org.springframework.security.test.web.servlet.setup.SecurityMockMvcConfigurers.*;
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration
@WebAppConfiguration
public class TestControllerTest {
@Autowired
private WebApplicationContext wac;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
@Before
public void setup() {
mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders
.webAppContextSetup(wac)
.apply(springSecurity()) //will perform all of the initial setup to integrate Spring Security with Spring MVC Test
.build();
}
