-Spring Boot attaches special meaning to a `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter` on the class annotated with `@SpringBootApplication`:
 It uses it to configure the security filter chain that carries the OAuth 2.0 authentication processor.
 
 The above configuration indicates a whitelist of permitted endpoints, with every other endpoint requiring authentication.
