Permitall not working

The “permitall” attribute is used in Spring Security to configure access control for specific URLs or paths. It allows unrestricted access to those URLs without any authentication or authorization checks.

When defining the security configuration for your application, you can use the “permitAll()” method to specify that certain URLs should be accessible to all users, regardless of their roles or permissions.

Here’s an example of how to use “permitAll()” in a Spring Security configuration:

    // Import necessary classes and annotations
    
    @Configuration
    @EnableWebSecurity
    public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
        
        @Override
        protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
            http
                .authorizeRequests()
                    .antMatchers("/public/**").permitAll() // Allow unrestricted access to URLs matching "/public/**"
                    .anyRequest().authenticated() // Enforce authentication for all other URLs
                    .and()
                .formLogin();
        }
        
        // Other configuration methods...
    }
    
  

In the above example, the “/public/**” pattern is specified as a URL that should be accessible to all users without any authentication checks. Any request that matches this pattern will not require authentication or authorization.

Make sure to adapt the above example according to your application’s specific URL patterns and requirements.
