I'm trying to setup a new project using Spring Security. When you do so every page is auto redirected to /login/auth. I read that you can disable this and instead explicitly state all controllers/routes. can someone point me in the right direction as far as how to obtain this? been searching forever and cant find it.
I first read about it in answer one of this question :
Grails, Spring Security Core - remove /login/auth from application
Reading the section Pessimistic Lockdown in the documentation will lead you to the fact you can reverse this behavior by using the following configuration:
// Config.groovy
grails.plugin.springsecurity.rejectIfNoRule = false
grails.plugin.springsecurity.fii.rejectPublicInvocations = true
This should accomplish what you are after. I recommend reading the documentation for this plugin as it is well written and covers a lot of useful information.
