Question

I have two applications, each located on it’s own server. Both of them use Spring security with the standart settings.
The problem that I need to access first application through the second one. I need to send password and login to the first application when logging in the second.
Can somebody help with samples or tips please? Thank you.
My spring-security.xml in both applications:

<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd">

<http pattern="/favicon.ico" security="none" />

<http auto-config="true">
    <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_ADMIN"/>
</http>

<authentication-manager>
    <authentication-provider>
        <user-service>
            <user name="hey" password="there" authorities="ROLE_ADMIN" />
        </user-service>
    </authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager>

Answer 1

you should use CAS for this instead of trying to access or pass user/pass across application.

please refer this link to get understanding how to use CAS in this kind of scenario.
