Propagate security context via channel interceptor #12532

Conversation

The SecurityContextChannelInterceptor currently has an ability to populate a security context with an Authentication from message header. But doesn't look like there is a way in the framework to populate such a header and therefore propagate context downstream the messaging flow

  • Extend a SecurityContextChannelInterceptor to support postReceive() contract for context population and afterReceiveCompletion() to clean it up, respectively
  • Optimize setup() function logic to not re-populate context if it already has the same Authentication
  • Add a logic to the preSend() to populate header with the value from current security context if it is missed in a message

The change is driven by this Spring Integration feature: https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/reference/html/security.html#security-context-propagation.
There is now only a single class in the Spring Integration Security modules and it is that SecurityContextPropagationChannelInterceptor.
When we will have such a propagation feature in Spring Security for Messaging by itself, there won't be a reason in that module in Spring Integration at all.

any feedback, please?

Here is some simple Spring Boot sample to demonstrate how a new SecurityContextPropagationChannelInterceptor helps to propagate security context from one thread to another via MessageChannel in between: https://github.com/artembilan/sandbox/blob/master/spring-integration-security-context-propagation/HELP.md.
Thanks

Pushed an anonymous propagation as was requested.

@jzheaux jzheaux added this to the 6.2.0-RC2 milestone Oct 16, 2023
Add `SecurityContextPropagationChannelInterceptor` that
propagates the current security context through the
Spring Messaging API.

Namely, it adds the current security context into any
message before it is sent and then populates the security
context when that message is received, typically in a
separate thread.
