Writeup User Authentication

The document outlines the components and flow of a user authentication process in a Spring Boot application. It describes the main classes that handle authentication, including the AuthenticationController that handles requests, the User entity, AuthenticationRepository for data access, and AuthenticationService for authentication logic. It also lists configuration files and JSP views. The authentication flow involves a user accessing a landing page, navigating to a login page to enter credentials, which are validated by the service and controller to return a success or failure view.

Handling User Authentication

WRITE UP :
➢ pom.xml: The Maven configuration file where you define project dependencies.
➢ com.project.Authentication.AuthenticationApplication: The main class of the Spring
Boot application that launches the application.
➢ com.project.Authentication.controllers.AuthenticationController: The controller class
that handles HTTP requests and contains methods for showing greeting, login page,
and authenticating user credentials.
➢ com.project.Authentication.entities.User: An entity class representing a user. It
includes fields such as id, name, email, and password.
➢ com.project.Authentication.exceptions.UserNotFoundException: A custom exception
class for handling user not found scenarios.
➢ com.project.Authentication.repositories.AuthenticationRepository: A repository
interface that extends the CrudRepository interface for performing CRUD operations
on the User entity.
➢ com.project.Authentication.services.AuthenticationService: A service class that
provides methods for retrieving user data from the repository and validating user
passwords.
➢ src/main/resources/application.properties: The application configuration file where
you define properties such as the database connection details and view
configurations.
➢ src/main/webapp/jsp: A directory where JSP files for different views are stored.The
flow of the authentication process is as follows:
➢ The user accesses the landing page ("/").
➢ From the landing page, the user can navigate to the login page ("/Auth").
➢ On the login page, the user enters their username and password and submits the
form.
➢ The authenticateUser method in the AuthenticationController class is invoked, which
calls the GetUserByName method from the AuthenticationService to retrieve the
user details based on the provided username.
➢ If the user is found, the entered password is compared with the stored password
using the isValidPassword method.
➢ Depending on the password validation, the controller returns either the "success" or
"failure" view, which is then rendered to the user
