Spring boot Instead of custom exception unauthorized is shown

I have a post endpoint to create a user. I want this endpoint to be security free.
I have achieved this in the WebSecurityConfiguration which extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter, with



web.ignoring().antMatchers(HttpMethod.POST, "/v1/user/create");


In my createUser method I have a check that if the username of a to-be-created user exists, then throws a UserAllreadyExistsException.



The problem is that if the username exists, instead of this exception I get the response below



{
"error": "unauthorized",
"error_description": "Full authentication is required to access this resource"
}


Note: if I call this endpoint with a token, then I get the exception.

  • Are you sure this only happens when the username doesn't exist? This is a typical Spring Security error message. Since those validations usually happen before any business logic is executed, I guess that this is entirely unrelated to the UserAlreadyExistsException you're throwing. You can verify that by trying a username that doesn't exist (should work), or by putting a breakpoint within the createUser() method.

  • It happens when i throw any exception inside this method. If i use a valid token then i get as a response the exception i throw.

  • I also test it with debug, it reaches the point the exception is thrown, but in the response i get the unauthorized. Not the exception.
