Hi Yong, you posts are always helpful in learning java technology. If possible could you please share some sample programs on LDAP+Spring+RESTful web services. Demonstrating authentication of username and password, providing authorization, and some curd on LDAP.
Thanks……

Hi,

i have implemented sprig security in my app using this example and login works fine however I couldn’t either fetch or submit data to and from the backend.In both the cases I get 403 with following message…

Invalid CSRF Token ‘null’ was found on the request parameter ‘csrf’ or header ‘X-CSRF-TOKEN’.Access to the specified resource has been forbidden

I tried after adding below code snippets one after another but error remain same.

public static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory

.getLogger(authenticationProvider.class);

public authenticationProvider()
{
logger.info(“Jai Sriram constructor….”);
}
@Override
public Authentication authenticate(Authentication authentication) throws AuthenticationException {
logger.info(“Jai Sriram”);

String name = authentication.getName();

String password = authentication.getCredentials().toString();

return null;

public boolean supports(Class authentication) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return false;
