Spring Security

Project: Catalog Security

The objective of this exercise is to secure the catalog microservice of the bookstore application using basic authentication.

1. Add the starters spring-boot-starter-security and spring-boot-starter-security-test as Maven dependencies.
2. Implement a security configuration class with bean methods that create
   • a password encoder that uses the Bcrypt hashing function
   • an in-memory user details service that knows users with the role EMPLOYEE
   • a security filter chain that uses basic authentication and restricts access to the REST endpoints according to requirements
3. Implement an integration test using the MockMvc bean to verify the security constraints of the service.
