Spring Security 5 sha256 encoder

Question

I have a problem with Spring Security 5 Basic authentication. I've configured Spring like this:

    @Configuration
    public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        // auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("user").password("{noop}password").roles("ADMIN");
        auth.inMemoryAuthentication().withUser("user").password("{sha256}5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8").roles("ADMIN");
    }
}

Everything works great with {noop} password encoder (commented code) - I'm able to authenticate with header: Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA==. But when I provide sha256 encoded password (uncommented code), I keep getting: org.springframework.security.authentication.BadCredentialsException: Bad credentials

Answer 1

Try

{SHA-256}

instead of

{SHA256}
