Spring boot security password not printed

Question

I have a basic spring boot RESTful application which works fine but when I try to add authorization using spring-boot-starter-security the password is not printed on the console. Following are the contents of the relevant files

application.properties

logging.file=route.log
logging.level.org.springframework.web=ERROR
logging.level.org.springframework.boot.test=ERROR
logging.level.org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security=INFO

controller class

package com.be.test.api;

@RestController
public class TestController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public
    @ResponseBody
    long test() {
        return 1000;
    }
}

Main class

package com.be.test;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;

@SpringBootApplication()
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class TestNameApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(TestNameApplication.class, args);

    }
}

Is there anything missing from any of the files ?

Answer 1

You add @EnableAutoConfiguration to file TestNameApplication

@EnableWebSecurity

public class TestNameApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ApplicationContext ctx =  SpringApplication.run(TestNameApplication .class, args);
}

}

You can run file TestNameApplication, then you can see pass in console log IDE. Spring will auto generate password belong to format:

Using default security password: a72f8e06-d1ac-4211-a84d-933534359c52

Answer 2

Add

logging.level.org.springframework.security=INFO

to your application.properties file. This came from the first note on this page, and an example of it is here.
