I am building a web application with Spring Security that will live on Amazon EC2 and use Amazon's Elastic Load Balancers. Unfortunately, ELB does not support sticky sessions, so I need to ensure my application works properly without sessions.
So far, I have setup RememberMeServices to assign a token via a cookie, and this works fine, but I want the cookie to expire with the browser session (e.g. when the browser closes).
I have to imagine I'm not the first one to want to use Spring Security without sessions... any suggestions?
In Spring Security 3 with Java Config, you can use HttpSecurity.sessionManagement():
@Override
protected void configure(final HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.sessionManagement()
.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS);
}
