Spring Security allows you to write your own Domain Specific Language (DSL), which can be used to configure security in your application. We have already seen a custom DSL in action when we implemented SAML authentication using OKTA. We used an OKTA-provided custom DSL to configure Spring Security.
To write your own custom DSL, you can extend the AbstractHttpConfigurerclass and override a few of it's methods, as shown here:
public class CustomDSL extends AbstractHttpConfigurer<CustomDSL, HttpSecurity> {
@Override

}
@Override
public void configure(HttpSecurity builder) throws Exception {
// Can add anything specific to your application and this will be honored
}
