How to Configure Cors in a Spring Boot + Spring Security Application

Spring Boot Security CORS

Instead of using the CorsRegistry you can write your own CorsFilter and add it to your security configuration.

Custom CorsFilter class:

public class CorsFilter implements Filter {

    @Override
    public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {

    }

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) servletResponse;
        HttpServletRequest request= (HttpServletRequest) servletRequest;

        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET,POST,DELETE,PUT,OPTIONS");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "*");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", true);
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age", 180);
        filterChain.doFilter(servletRequest, servletResponse);
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {

    }
}

Security config class:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class OAuth2SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Bean
    CorsFilter corsFilter() {
        CorsFilter filter = new CorsFilter();
        return filter;
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
                .addFilterBefore(corsFilter(), SessionManagementFilter.class) //adds your custom CorsFilter
                .exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(authenticationEntryPoint).and()
                .formLogin()
                    .successHandler(ajaxSuccessHandler)
                    .failureHandler(ajaxFailureHandler)
                    .loginProcessingUrl("/authentication")
                    .passwordParameter("password")
                    .usernameParameter("username")
                .and()
                .logout()
                    .deleteCookies("JSESSIONID")
                    .invalidateHttpSession(true)
                    .logoutUrl("/logout")
                    .logoutSuccessUrl("/")
                .and()
                .csrf().disable()
                .anonymous().disable()
                .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/authentication").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/oauth/token").permitAll()
                .antMatchers("/admin/*").access("hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')")
                .antMatchers("/user/*").access("hasRole('ROLE_USER')");
    }
}

CORS errors using Spring Boot, Spring Security and React

Try using the global CORS config as shown in below code to allow CORS for all endpoints.

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.cors.CorsConfiguration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.CorsRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;

@Component
public class CorsConfig {

    @Bean
    public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() {

        return new WebMvcConfigurer() {
            @Override
            public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
                registry
                        .addMapping("/**")
                        .allowedMethods(CorsConfiguration.ALL)
                        .allowedHeaders(CorsConfiguration.ALL)
                        .allowedOriginPatterns(CorsConfiguration.ALL);
            }
        };
    }
}

Since spring boot 2.4 you are supposed to use allowedOriginPatterns instead of allowedOrigins. Also you cannot use wildcard '*' along with credentials : true

How to enable CORS at Spring Security level in Spring boot

this is a way to make Spring Security 4.1 support CROS with Spring BOOT 1.5

  @Configuration
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
        registry.addMapping("/**")
           .allowedMethods("HEAD", "GET", "PUT", "POST", "DELETE", "PATCH");
    }
}

with

@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
//        http.csrf().disable();
        http.cors();
    }
    @Bean
    public CorsConfigurationSource corsConfigurationSource() {
        final CorsConfiguration configuration = new CorsConfiguration();
        configuration.setAllowedOrigins(ImmutableList.of("*"));
        configuration.setAllowedMethods(ImmutableList.of("HEAD", "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "PATCH"));
        configuration.setAllowCredentials(true);
        configuration.setAllowedHeaders(ImmutableList.of("Authorization", "Cache-Control", "Content-Type"));
        final UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
        source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", configuration);
        return source;
    }
}
