[NOTE]
====
`@WithMockUser`, `@WithUserDetails`, and `@WithSecurityContext` populate the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-securitycontextholder[`SecurityContextHolder`] for the test thread.
This works for method-security tests and for xref:servlet/test/mockmvc/index.adoc[`MockMvc`] (when using `testSecurityContext()`), but does not automatically apply to full HTTP requests made through external clients (for example, REST-assured against a running server), because those requests are handled on a different thread.
For end-to-end HTTP tests, xref:servlet/authentication/index.adoc[authenticate] the request itself (for example, with HTTP Basic or a bearer token).
