Spring Security conditional default-target-url

Question

I've noticed that there are a couple of questions asking about this topic. I looked through them and I was unable to apply them to my specific Spring setup. I would like to configure my login redirect to be conditional, based on the user's role. This is what I have so far:

<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
        <custom-filter ref="filterSecurityInterceptor" before="FILTER_SECURITY_INTERCEPTOR"/>
        <access-denied-handler ref="accessDeniedHandler"/>
        <form-login
            login-page="/login"
            default-target-url="/admin/index"
            authentication-failure-url="/index?error=true"
            />
        <logout logout-success-url="/index" invalidate-session="true"/>
</http>

I thought this question might be in the same line as what I'm trying to do. Anyone know how I can apply it though?

EDIT 1

<bean id="authenticationProcessingFilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter">
    <property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />
    <property name="authenticationSuccessHandler" ref="authenticationSuccessHandler"/>
</bean>
<bean id="authenticationSuccessHandler" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler">
    <property name="defaultTargetUrl" value="/login.jsp"/>
</bean>

EDIT 2

Currently I do not have a class like public class Test implements AuthenticationSuccessHandler {} as shown in this example.

Answer 1

I have tested the code and it works, there's no rocket science in it

public class MySuccessHandler implements AuthenticationSuccessHandler {

    @Override
    public void onAuthenticationSuccess(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response, Authentication authentication)
            throws IOException, ServletException {
        Set<String> roles = AuthorityUtils.authorityListToSet(authentication.getAuthorities());
        if (roles.contains("ROLE_ADMIN")){
            response.sendRedirect("/Admin.html");   
            return;
        }
        response.sendRedirect("/User.html");
    }    
}

Changes in your security context:

<bean id="mySuccessHandler" class="my.domain.MySuccessHandler">
    </bean>

<security:form-login ... authentication-success-handler-ref="mySuccessHandler"/>

update if you want to use default-target-url approach, it will work equally well, but will be triggered when your user first accesses the login page:

<security:form-login default-target-url="/welcome.htm" />

@Controller
public class WelcomeController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "/welcome.htm")
    protected View welcome() {

        Set<String> roles = AuthorityUtils
                .authorityListToSet(SecurityContextHolder.getContext()
                        .getAuthentication().getAuthorities());
        if (roles.contains("ROLE_ADMIN")) {
            return new RedirectView("Admin.htm");
        }
        return new RedirectView("User.htm");
    }
}
