How do I set up Spring Security in my application?

To set up Spring Security, you need to add the Spring Security dependency to your project and configure it in your application.

What dependencies do I need to include?

You need to include spring-boot-starter-security in your Maven or Gradle configuration.

Can you show me a basic configuration example?

Sure! Here’s a simple configuration:

@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeRequests()
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
            .formLogin();
    }
}

How do I customize the login page?

You can customize the login page by specifying the URL in the formLogin() method like this:

.and()
    .formLogin()
    .loginPage("/custom-login");
