Another log that you will see in the output is the following: 

o.s.s.web.DefaultSecurityFilterChain     : Creating filter chain: org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.AnyRequestMatcher@1, [org.springframework.security.web.context.request.async.WebAsyncManagerIntegrationFilter@3c2b5b0a, org.springframework.security.web.context.SecurityContextPersistenceFilter@240d2b4d, org.springframework.security.web.header.HeaderWriterFilter@711e7156, ...
