Disabling Spring Security in Spring Boot

If you have a Spring boot application configured with the Spring Security, whenever you are requesting a resource/page, it will invoke the basic security and show you a login page. So how to avoid this and access your resource without any security restriction. The simple step is use security.ignored properties. Add the below

security.ignored=/**

in your application.properties, you are good to go. Now accessing any restricted resource doesn't put any constraints for you.

Note: This works fine for version below Spring Boot 2.0.0. I haven't tried or exposed to Spring Boot 2.0.0.

Happy Programming...!!!
