SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design and audit Spring Security configurations for Kotlin + Spring services to ensure explicit, minimal, and testable access control, correct token handling, and safe exposure of endpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define authentication models (JWT/OAuth2) and filter chains for Kotlin + Spring apps.
  • Explicitly map authorization to endpoints and methods, with clear 401/403 behavior.
  • Ensure secure defaults and auditability with tests and documentation.

Quick Start

Configure a minimal, auditable security model for a Kotlin + Spring service with explicit access rules and token validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Spring Security filter chains for Kotlin APIs?

Spring Security filter chains are configured by defining explicit authentication models and endpoint access rules. You map authorization directly to specific endpoints and methods, ensuring clear 401 and 403 behaviors for protected web service routes.

What is the best way to validate JWT issuer and audience in Spring Security?

Validating JWT issuer and audience requires robust token validation checks within your security configuration. You enforce explicit allowlists to verify token expiration, issuer, and audience before granting access to protected API endpoints.

Does this approach support least-privilege authorization for Spring services?

Yes, least-privilege authorization is supported by designing explicit, minimal access control models. You define endpoint-specific rules and testable security checks across public and protected endpoints to ensure safe exposure.

How do I set up OAuth2 authentication in a Kotlin Spring application?

Set up OAuth2 authentication by defining it as your primary authentication model within the Spring Security configuration. You apply it alongside filter chains to manage access rules and validate tokens across your web service endpoints.

Why are my Spring Security endpoint access rules returning 403 instead of 401?

Endpoint access rules return 403 for authenticated users lacking permissions, while 401 indicates missing authentication. You explicitly map authorization to endpoints to ensure correct token validation and clear 401/403 behavior.
