Springboot digest authentication support

Question

I need to implement HTTP digest authentication for my Springboot Application. I have tried configuring this from Tomcat setup (How to use digest authentication in Tomcat 8.5? ut since Springboot doesn't generate any web.xml, I couldn't configure this. Can someone, please, give a piece of advice as for is there any alternative?

Steps Followed

1.generated sha -256 password 

   digest.bat -s 0 -a sha-256 tomcat

2. updated tomcat user file


        <role rolename="admin-gui"/>
        <user username="tomcat"         password="ce066452368a3498047a43323cff46a00222945691d728747a2283273506a0a7" 
        roles="manager-gui,manager,admin"></user>

3. updated tomcat conf/server.xml

    <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm">
        <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" resourceName="UserDatabase">
            <CredentialHandler className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MessageDigestCredentialHandler" algorithm="SHA-256" /> 
        </Realm>
    </Realm>
