Description

A common question from the community is what are the debugging tools and techniques available when troubleshooting Spring Security configuration.

It would be nice to have something in the reference that reviews how to turn on logging, how to permit the /error page, and how to interpret common log messages.

Related to https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/issues/18063 and https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/issues/18104
