Что такое аутентификация

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .authorizeHttpRequests(auth -> auth
                .requestMatchers("/public").permitAll()
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
            )
            .formLogin(form -> form
                .loginPage("/login")
                .permitAll()
            );
        return http.build();
    }
}
