Security Integration notes
External Jupyter Notebook
With OAuth2 enabled, when an unauthenticated user tries to access or perform an action against ModelOp Center using an external Jupyter notebook, they will not be allowed to do so until they authenticate. The trigger for the authentication logic, located in the jupyter-plugin repository, is a 401 Unauthorized
status code. However, Spring Security is no longer sending a 401 Unauthorized
, but instead, a 302 Found
status code. To override the 302 Found
status code, we introduced the CustomAuthenticationEntryPoint
class. The purpose of this class is to inspect all requests for protected resources coming from an unauthenticated user, and to determine if a 302 Found
or 401 Unauthorized
status code should be returned.
We identify external Jupyter notebook requests by checking for the Sec-Fetch-Mode
header and its value. If a request is coming from an external Jupyter notebook, then Sec-Fetch-Mode
header will be set with the cors
value, in which case we return 401 Unauthorized
. Otherwise, we return 302 Found
and redirect to the login page.
To enable the use of CustomAuthenticationEntryPoint
class, include the following line in the odg-gateway-service repository SecurityConfig class:
http.exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(new CustomAuthenticationEntryPoint(URI.create(this.authenticationFailureRedirectUri)));
