Spring Security Basic Authentication Interview Questions & Implementation
In this video, we deep dive into Basic Authentication in Spring Security and explain how it works behind the scenes, when to use it, and how it differs from form-based and session-based authentication.
We start with a quick recap of form authentication and session based authentication, then move step-by-step into Spring Basic Authentication, covering both theory and real implementation using Spring Security 6 and Spring Boot.
You’ll clearly understand stateless authentication, how Base64 encoding works, how encoded credentials are sent in headers, and how to securely store and validate users from a database instead of in-memory authentication.
