I have a scenario where I have to force the users to reset password on first login. For this I am using a custom successAuthenticationHandler. All this handler trying to do is see if logged in user requires to reset password. If yes create a new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken and set it onto SecurityContext. And then redirect to resetPasswordUrl.
Here is my onAuthenticationSuccess method:
@Override
public void onAuthenticationSuccess(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response,
final Authentication authentication) throws ServletException, IOException {
final AugmentedUser aUser = (AugmentedUser) SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication()
.getPrincipal();
System.out.println("In password reset handler.");
if (authorizationService.isPasswordResetRequired(aUser.getUsername(), aUser.getUsertype())) {
LOG.debug("Password reset is required.");
System.out.println("Password reset is required");
final UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken authRequest = reAssignUserWithOnlyResetPasswordRole(aUser,
request);
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authRequest);
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
System.out.println("User reassinged with only RESET_PASSWORD Authority, redirecting to resetPasswordPage");
response.sendRedirect(resetPasswordUrl);
//super.onAuthenticationSuccess(request, response, newAuthentication);
} else {
super.onAuthenticationSuccess(request, response, authentication);
}
}
If yes create another UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken with same credentials as logged in user, but just assign him a single role "RESET_PASSWORD", so that he cannot access anything alse by hitting any other link/url.
private UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken reAssignUserWithOnlyResetPasswordRole(final AugmentedUser aUser,
final HttpServletRequest request) {
final String username = aUser.getUsername();
final String password = aUser.getPassword();
final boolean isEnabled = aUser.isEnabled();
final boolean isAccountNonExpired = aUser.isAccountNonExpired();
final boolean isCredentialsNonExpired = aUser.isCredentialsNonExpired();
final boolean isAccountNonLocked = aUser.isAccountNonLocked();
LOG.debug("Re-assigning the user: " + username + " with only RESET PASSWORD AUTHORITY");
System.out.println("Re-assigning the user: " + username + "with only RESET PASSWORD AUTHORITY");
final Map<String, String> userAttributesMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
final AugmentedUser userWithResetPasswordRole = new AugmentedUser(username, password, aUser.getUsertype(),
isEnabled, isAccountNonExpired, isCredentialsNonExpired, isAccountNonLocked,
createResetPasswordGrantedAuhtority(), userAttributesMap);
final UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken authenticationRequest = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(
userWithResetPasswordRole, userWithResetPasswordRole.getAuthorities());
//WebAuthenticationDetails are required for sessionId and ipAddress
final WebAuthenticationDetails webAuthenticationDetails = new WebAuthenticationDetails(request);
authenticationRequest.setDetails(webAuthenticationDetails);
return authenticationRequest;
}
Now I do see the new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken being created with just a RESET password role. But looks like while doing redirect to the resetPasswordURl the spring filter do some checks and user is getting unauthenticated after I set my new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken .
Heres is the root cause that I see in the logs:
doAuthentication - Authentication attempt using
org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider

Any comments where I am going wrong ?
