Camel - Spring Boot Security - REST - 404 on sending wrong credentials

Question

This is really a weird error. Am trying spring security on camel restlets endpoints

Route

from("restlet://test?restletMethod=GET").to("some endpoint");

Added default Security jar

spring-boot-starter-security

Application.properties

security.basic.enabled=true
security.user.name=user

Context Configuration

    @Bean
    public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean() {
        SpringServerServlet servlet = new SpringServerServlet();
        DispatcherServlet dispatcherServlet = new DispatcherServlet();
        ServletRegistrationBean registration = new ServletRegistrationBean( servlet , "/*");

        registration.setName("restlet");

        Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put("org.restlet.component", "restletComponent");

        registration.addInitParameter( "org.restlet.component", "restletComponent" );

        return registration;
    }

When the run the APP as spring boot application, it generates a default password.

Using default security password: f701928f-29c6-448f-9640-430cc5f215be

Now, if I call the rest using correct credentials, its working fine. But if I call with wrong credentials , it is returning 404 not found

Whats wrong ?

Answer 1

The issue was the ServletRegistrationBean am Using , which catches 401 error and sends redirect to a page called /error.

Unfortunately, there is not fix for this. But there is a work around.

Have a simple rest api called with path as '/error' and return any output you want.

Example

from("restlet:/error?restletMethods=GET").transform(simple("unauthorized"));
