Test Spring REST service with Spring security on SoapUI

Question

I'm have a Spring service like this:

localhost:8889/projectX/insurance/?policy=1

@RestController
@RequestMapping(value="insurance")
public class InsuranceService {

            @RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
            public List<Policy> getPolicy(@RequestParam(value="policy") int policy){
           ...
    }
 }

That produces a JSON with a policy info.

In WebSecurityConfig.java i have this security:

       @Override
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http
            .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/insurance/**").access("hasRole('advicer')")
            ...

So if I try to consume that service on SoapUI I will be directed to login form

How can I consume that service correctly with authentication?

I would switch off security for Junit testing, with a profile.

In your WebSecurityConfig.java file add

@Profile("default")

Then for non security testing either in Junit use

@ActiveProfiles("test")

Or from a server add to your server start up

-Dspring.profiles.active=test
