I am implementing ACL based authentication using spring-security-acl on my Spring Boot based app. I have configured my app and created the 4 tables required for ACL and the authorisation works pretty well during READ or WRITE type of operations. But right now, I am manually creating the entries in my ACL tables.
I am looking for a way to create, update and delete ACL entries automatically as new objects are created, updated and deleted. I know that the aclService bean has related methods like createAcl but I am finding it difficult to hook them up efficiently.
My current scenario has a few repositories which I am exposing as REST endpoints using spring-data-rest. Thus I am not manually writing any controller methods for write based operations. As such, I don't know how I can introduce ACL entries creation (or updation and deletion).
I have seen this question Using Spring Security ACL but it really doesn't answer how to hook things up with spring-data-rest
