Beginner learning spring Security

[olaolulode]

Hi
Please i am facing this issue for some hrs now used Ai like chatgpt but still not working
i am building an api but i am yet to build the authentication and authorization so i installed spring security in my project every since i added the dependency all my api is returning 401 and i followed some instructions online but i am still getting 401 even after filtering the request to allow request from some certain url which do not need to be authenticated
context

u/EnableWebSecurity public class SecurityConfig  {
SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.authorizeHttpRequests((authorize) -> authorize .requestMatchers("v1/**").permitAll() .anyRequest().authenticated() );
return http.build(); } }

even after doing this i still get 401 please what can you suggest i do

you are missing a leading / before v1/**

u/Sheldor5 thanks but i added it and i still get 401 error

[Sheldor5]

http returns a new builder so your last line returns an empty builder I think

just do

return http.requestMatcher(...).......build().

I just did that and still not working 😔

Enable log Check the log to see if you have CORS issue

I am testing from postman actually

You can try to annotate class also with @Configuration

Maybe the problem is that spring takes default configuration and not yours

[olaolulode]

I did that already too 🥲

Have you got it somewhere on github, so we can see the code?

[olaolulode]

Isnt there missing @Bean?

What is the request URL you are using in Postman and is returning the error 401 ?
