Spring Security Logout Back Button

Question

Does spring security have a way to prevent the last point below? I'm using 3.0.5

-user logs into my website -user goes to any page in website and clicks log out -log out link invalidates user session and sends them to the login page in my website -in same browser, user navigates to new website (say cnn.com) -user hits back button and they land at my login page -user hits back button again and they end up at the page within the application that may have data that we dont want to be there. If they click any link on the page they immediately get sent to login page, but they can view the cached page from the browser cache...any way to not let them view this?

Answer 1

the below filter took care of my situation:

package com.dc.api.service.impl;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Date;

public class CacheControlFilter implements Filter {

    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
                         FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

        HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        resp.setHeader("Expires", "Tue, 03 Jul 2001 06:00:00 GMT");
        resp.setHeader("Last-Modified", new Date().toString());
        resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
        resp.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

        chain.doFilter(request, response);
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {}

    @Override
    public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {}

}

Answer 2

to solve this problem you must add in your security xml config file :

<security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">

    <security:headers >
        <security:cache-control />
        <security:hsts/>
    </security:headers>
