📝 Tasks Overview

🔒 Task 1: Basic Authentication

Configure a Spring Boot application with Spring Security to:

• Require username and password authentication for all endpoints.
• Use in-memory user details with roles USER and ADMIN.

---

🛡️ Task 2: Role-Based Access Control

Implement role-based access control:

• USER can access /user/**.
• ADMIN can access /admin/** and /user/**.
• Restrict /admin/** to only ADMIN users.

---

✨ Task 3: Custom Login Page

• Create a custom login page to replace the default form-based login.
• Redirect users to different pages after login based on their roles.

---

🔑 Task 4: Password Encoding

• Integrate a password encoder (e.g., BCryptPasswordEncoder) to hash and verify passwords stored in a database.
• Use a database to manage user details instead of in-memory users.
• Use Spring Security's SecurityContext to pass user details into a service layer.
• Create a custom user details service to load user data from a database.

---

📜 Task 5: JWT Authentication

• Configure the application to use JWT for authentication.
• Implement token generation and validation.
• Secure endpoints using JWT tokens.

  Note: The solution uses the JJWT library, but you can explore other options like Auth0.

---

🌐 Task 6: OAuth2 Login

• Set up OAuth2 login with GitHub & Google as an identity provider.
• Allow users to log in using their GitHub accounts.
• Allow users to login using their Google sccounts

---

📋 Task 7: Method-Level Security

• Enable method-level security annotations.
• Use @PreAuthorize and @PostAuthorize to secure specific methods in a service.

---

🔒 Task 8: CSRF Protection

• Enable CSRF protection in the application.
• Configure CSRF tokens for form submissions.
