= Testing HTTP Basic Authentication
|
|
|
|
While it has always been possible to authenticate with HTTP Basic, it was a bit tedious to remember the header name, format, and encode the values.
|
|
Now this can be done using Spring Security's `httpBasic` xref:servlet/test/mockmvc/request-post-processors.adoc[`RequestPostProcessor`].
|
|
For example, the snippet below:
|
|
|
|
====
|
|
.Java
|
|
[source,java,role="primary"]
|
|
----
|
|
mvc
|
|
.perform(get("/").with(httpBasic("user","password")))
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
.Kotlin
|
|
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
|
|
----
|
|
mvc.get("/") {
|
|
with(httpBasic("user","password"))
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
will attempt to use HTTP Basic to authenticate a user with the username "user" and the password "password" by ensuring the following header is populated on the HTTP Request:
|
|
|
|
[source,text]
|
|
----
|
|
Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA==
