As  M Deinum already wrote the answer    I tried with api  api v1 signup  it will bypass the filter custom filter but an additional request invoked by the browser for  favicon ico  so  I add this also in web ignoring   and it works for me    Override public void configure WebSecurity web  throws Exception       web ignoring   antMatchers   api v1 signup     favicon ico        Maybe this is not required for the above question

This may be not the full answer to your question  however if you are looking for way to disable csrf protection you can do    EnableWebSecurity public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter         Override     protected void configure HttpSecurity http  throws Exception           http authorizeRequests                    antMatchers   web admin      hasAnyRole ADMIN toString    GUEST toString                     anyRequest   permitAll                    and                    formLogin   loginPage   web login   permitAll                    and                    csrf   ignoringAntMatchers   contact-email                    and                    logout   logoutUrl   web logout   logoutSuccessUrl   web    permitAll                Autowired     public void configureGlobal AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth  throws Exception           auth inMemoryAuthentication                    withUser  admin   password  admin   roles ADMIN toString                     and                    withUser  guest   password  guest   roles GUEST toString                I have included full configuration but the key line is     csrf   ignoringAntMatchers   contact-email

If you want to ignore multiple API endpoints you can use as follow      Override     protected void configure HttpSecurity httpSecurity  throws Exception           httpSecurity csrf   disable   authorizeRequests                 antMatchers   api v1      authenticated                antMatchers  api v1 authenticate     permitAll                antMatchers       permitAll                and   exceptionHandling   and   sessionManagement                    sessionCreationPolicy SessionCreationPolicy STATELESS

lt http pattern   resources     security  none   gt    Or with Java configuration   web ignoring   antMatchers   resources         Instead of the old     lt intercept-url pattern   resources     filters  none   gt    for exp   disable security for a login page       lt intercept-url pattern   login   filters  none    gt

When using permitAll it means every authenticated user  however you disabled anonymous access so that won t work    What you want is to ignore certain URLs for this override the configure method that takes WebSecurity object and ignore the pattern    Override public void configure WebSecurity web  throws Exception       web ignoring   antMatchers   api v1 signup        And remove that line from the HttpSecurity part  This will tell Spring Security to ignore this URL and don t apply any filters to them
