Spring Security preventing call to REST Controller - in same Springboot App - rest

Question

First let me say that this code runs fine security opened up with using: http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll();
But this doesn't work with additional security enabled. It looks to me like Spring security is preventing Client Controller from calling REST Controller.
Both of the following Client and REST controllers are in the same Spring Application. Code fails at comment: //FAILS TO REACH REST HERE.
I've had suggestions that I need to "pass" the authorization to the REST Endpoint? Would this be a code change/addition or is it something that I need to set in the Web Security Configuration?
All suggestions and feedback greatly appreciated.
Here are the relevant code snippets:
Web Security Configuration:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
//Open to everything
//http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/").permitAll();
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/css/**","/img/**","/script/**","/signup").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin()
.failureUrl("/login?error")
.defaultSuccessUrl("/")
.loginPage("/login")
.permitAll()
.and()
.logout().logoutRequestMatcher(new AntPathRequestMatcher("/logout")).logoutSuccessUrl("/login?logout")
.permitAll();
}
#Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth
.inMemoryAuthentication()
.withUser("usr").password("pwd").roles("USER");
}
}
Client Controller:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#Controller
#RequestMapping("administration")
public class UserClientController {
private RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
private User user = null;
// http://localhost:8080/cis/administration/user/1/id
#RequestMapping(value = "/user/{userId}/id", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getUserByUserId(Model model, #PathVariable String userId) {
try {
//FAILS TO REACH REST HERE
user = restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8080/cis/utl/user/r1/userid/" + userid , User.class);
if (user == null)
throw new Exception("Invalid REST response. Expected one and returned \"null\".");
model.addAttribute("User", user);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
...
}
return contextPath + "administration/user";
}
}
REST Controller:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/utl/user")
public class UserRestController {
#Autowired
private UserService userService;
// http://localhost:8080/cis/utl/user/r1/userid/1/
#RequestMapping(value = "/r1/userid/{userId}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public User getByUserId(#PathVariable Long userId) {
User user;
try {
user = userService.findByUserId(userId);
} catch (Exception ex) {
...
}
return user;
}
}
Error and Stack Trace:

Answer 1

The error mention : no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type [class com.MyPackage.repository.User] and content type [text/html;charset=UTF-8]
You should send the request with correct content-type like application/json from restTemplate
