If you are deploying applications behind a firewall, you may prefer that all your actuator
endpoints can be accessed without requiring authentication. You can do this by changing
the `management.security.enabled` property:
.application.properties

NOTE: By default, actuator endpoints are exposed on the same port that serves regular
HTTP traffic. Take care not to accidentally expose sensitive information if you change
the `management.security.enabled` property.
If you're deploying applications publicly, you may want to add '`Spring Security`' to
handle user authentication. When '`Spring Security`' is added, by default '`basic`'
authentication will be used with the username `user` and a generated password (which is
