For me only excluding the following classes worked  import org springframework boot actuate autoconfigure security servlet ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration  import org springframework boot autoconfigure SpringBootApplication  import org springframework boot autoconfigure security servlet SecurityAutoConfiguration    SpringBootApplication exclude    SecurityAutoConfiguration class  ManagementWebSecurityAutoConfiguration class

With this solution you can fully enable disable the security by activating a specific profile by command line  I defined the profile in a file application-nosecurity yaml  spring    autoconfigure      exclude  org springframework boot autoconfigure security servlet SecurityAutoConfiguration   Then I modified my custom WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter by adding the  Profile   nosecurity   as follows    Configuration  EnableWebSecurity  EnableGlobalMethodSecurity prePostEnabled   true  securedEnabled   true   Profile   nosecurity   public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter         To fully disable the security it s enough to start the application up by specifying the nosecurity profile  i e    java -jar  target myApp jar --spring profiles active nosecurity

Since security disable option is banned from usage there is still a way to achieve it from pure config without touching any class flies  for me it creates convenience with environments manipulation and possibility to activate it with ENV variable  if you use Boot  spring autoconfigure exclude  org springframework boot autoconfigure security servlet SecurityAutoConfiguration

User · Answer

Just add the following line to disable spring auto configuration in application properties file  spring autoconfigure exclude org springframework boot autoconfigure security servlet SecurityAutoConfiguration  it works on spring 2 0 5

User · Answer

Use  profile  whatever-name-profile-to-activate-if-needed   on your security configuration class that extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter  security ignored      security basic enable  false   NB  I need to debug to know why why exclude auto configuration did not work for me  But the profile is sot so bad as you can still re-activate it via configuration properties if needed

You could just comment the maven dependency for a while    lt dependencies gt           lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-actuator lt  artifactId gt           lt  dependency gt           lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb lt  artifactId gt           lt  dependency gt   lt  --         lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-security lt  artifactId gt           lt  dependency gt -- gt   lt  dependencies gt    It worked fine for me     Disabling it from application properties is deprecated for Spring Boot   2 0

Change WebSecurityConfig java  comment out everything in the configure method and add http authenticateRequest   antMatcher  quot     quot   permitAll      This will allow any request to hit every URL without any authentication

This was the only thing that worked for me  I added the following annotation to my Application class and exclude SecurityAutoConfiguration  import org springframework boot autoconfigure EnableAutoConfiguration  import org springframework boot autoconfigure security servlet SecurityAutoConfiguration    EnableAutoConfiguration exclude             SecurityAutoConfiguration class

User · Answer

I think you must also remove security auto config from your  SpringBootApplication annotated class    EnableAutoConfiguration exclude         org springframework boot autoconfigure security SecurityAutoConfiguration class      org springframework boot actuate autoconfigure ManagementSecurityAutoConfiguration class

User · Answer

just add   SpringBootApplication exclude   SecurityAutoConfiguration class

Use security ignored property   security ignored       security basic enable  false will just disable some part of the security auto-configurations but your WebSecurityConfig still will be registered      There is a default security password generated at startup   Try to Autowired the AuthenticationManagerBuilder    Override  Autowired protected void configure AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth  throws Exception

The accepted answer didn t work for me   If you have a multi configuration  adding the following to your WebSecurityConfig class worked for me  ensure that your Order 1  is lower than all of your other Order annotations in the class       UNCOMMENT TO DISABLE SPRING SECURITY           Configuration      Order 1      public static class DisableSecurityConfigurationAdapater extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter            Override         protected void configure HttpSecurity http  throws Exception               http antMatcher        authorizeRequests   anyRequest   permitAll

User · Answer

security ignored is deprecated since Spring Boot 2   For me simply extend the Annotation of your Application class did the Trick    SpringBootApplication exclude   SecurityAutoConfiguration class

User · Answer

Try this  Make a new class   Configuration public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter         Override     protected void configure HttpSecurity httpSecurity  throws Exception           httpSecurity authorizeRequests   antMatchers      permitAll           Basically this tells Spring to allow access to every url   Configuration tells spring it s a configuration class
