Could somebody try following next steps and providing some hint?

Run example provided in latest Spring Security release (spring-security-samples-tutorial-3.1.0.RELEASE.war), or whatever Spring Security sample project you own.
Change ‘rod’ user with ‘áéíóú’ user.
Try to access a secure page login in with that new user.

I’m not able to log in, and you?.

This is a character encoding issue.

Inside my java code, System.out.println(username) displays Ã¡Ã©ÃÃ³Ãº**instead of **áéíóú

Same results with Logback logging system!

Thanks!

OK, so characters don’t reach code property. Try adding this meta in the head of your HTML/JSP page:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
        ...
    </head>
</html>
