POST request unauthorized

I am working on a RestAPI endpoint for generating random values with Spring Boot and Bouncy Castle. I also have basic Spring Security activated.

When i make a GET request with the right credentials, everything works fine and the random value gets returned, but if i change it to PostMapping with the exact same underlying code and make a POST request - i get an unauthorized response, even tho the credentials are right.

I am using Insomnia for making HTTP requests.

Has anyone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it?

Solution

  • Creating a Configuration Class for Spring Security solved the problem.

    The following code worked:

    @Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration {

@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception{
    http
            .csrf().disable();
    return http.build();
}

    }
