Spring Boot with Session/Redis Serialization Error with Bad Active Directory Ldap Credentials
Hi I am new to Spring and Java, I am trying to implement a Gateway authentication server as described in this tutorial https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-security-and-angular-js/
I got everything working and then tried to implement the authentication against our company Ldap server. It works if I use a valid username and password. When I use invalid credentials the application errors.
I am not at work so I don't have the exact error, but it is returning an ldap error (com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx) and Redis is trying to serialize it.
Is there something I am missing in my configuration. From what I have read I think I should be looking for a way to wrap/extend the class and implement Serializable, but I am unsure of the least invasive way to do this with Spring Boot.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike Kowalski
PS I have been working mostly in dynamic languages and frameworks until now (Javascript/Node, Php/Laravel)
Here are what I think are the relevant parts of the Security configuration:
@Configuration
@Order(SecurityProperties.ACCESS_OVERRIDE_ORDER)
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.formLogin()
.defaultSuccessUrl("/")
.loginPage("/login")
.permitAll()
.and()
.logout()
.logoutSuccessUrl("/logout")
.permitAll();
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/login").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.csrf().csrfTokenRepository(csrfTokenRepository())
.and()
.addFilterAfter(csrfHeaderFilter(), CsrfFilter.class);
}
@Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder authManagerBuilder) throws Exception {
authManagerBuilder
.authenticationProvider(activeDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider())
.userDetailsService(userDetailsService());
}
@Bean
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManager() {
return new ProviderManager(
Arrays.asList(activeDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider())
);
}
@Bean
public AuthenticationProvider activeDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider() {
ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider provider = new ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider(
"XXX.XXX", "ldaps://XXX.XXX:636");
provider.setConvertSubErrorCodesToExceptions(true);
provider.setUseAuthenticationRequestCredentials(true);
return provider;
}
private Filter csrfHeaderFilter() {
return new OncePerRequestFilter() {
@Override
protected void doFilterInternal(
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
FilterChain filterChain
) throws ServletException, IOException
{
CsrfToken csrf = (CsrfToken) request.getAttribute(CsrfToken.class
.getName());
if (csrf != null) {
Cookie cookie = WebUtils.getCookie(request, "XSRF-TOKEN");
String token = csrf.getToken();
if (cookie == null || token != null
&& !token.equals(cookie.getValue())) {
cookie = new Cookie("XSRF-TOKEN", token);
cookie.setPath("/");
response.addCookie(cookie);
}
}
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
}
};
}
private CsrfTokenRepository csrfTokenRepository() {
HttpSessionCsrfTokenRepository repository = new HttpSessionCsrfTokenRepository();
repository.setHeaderName("X-XSRF-TOKEN");
return repository;
}
}
Here is part of the error that using invalid credentials:

Answer
The Java object to be cached must implement the serializable interface, because spring will serialize the object and store it in redis.
e.g. public class Store implement Serializable
The short story here is ensure you implement the serializable interface on your class.
I hope this help. Good luck.
