Description
Documentation at Security Filters leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Suggest that that section be enhanced by answering the following questions.
- In troubleshooting scenario how to get a list of what the filter chain looks like printed to the log?
- How to add a custom filter to the filter chain at a specific position?
- What are some use cases where a custom filter would be needed?
- Turn the list into a table that provides the name of the filter and a short description of what the filter does.
- Are all the filters always present even if a specified module is not being used? for example if my app is not using SAML is the
Saml2WebSsoAuthenticationFilter
still present in the filter chain? - Is the filter chain listed in the docs configured by spring security or via spring boot auto configuration?
I believe answering the above questions in this section will make the docs much better.
