SecurityContextHelper.getAuthentication() returns AnonymousUser

ibechlis · June 18, 2024, 7:27am

Hello,
We have a Jmix 2.2.3 application with reverse proxy, LDAP Authentication and CustomUserSynchronizationStrategy for creating users on their first login with LDAP credentials.

We are facing an issue where 3 out of 4 times that a user is trying to login for 1st time in the application, he gets RuntimeException: Authentication principal must be UserDatails . After some debugging we saw that SecurityContextHelper.getAuthentication() returns AnonymousUser.

After 3-4 tries the user successfully logs in and his user is being created.

Can you please help us to resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Ilias

Hi,

It is hard to say without having a reproducible test case or at least the full stacktrace of the exception. Could you reproduce the problem on a small demo project and attach it here?

We will also need:

Exact steps describing how to get the exception
Full exception stacktrace

It will be useful if you set the debug logging level for spring security:

logging.level.org.springframework.security=debug
