Question

I installed Spring Security Plugin(from here). I followed the blog post very closely here. I did exactly the same as said in that blog post, but even though when I tried to log in through the plugin, I’m getting an error like this:

Sorry, we were not able to find a user with that username and password.

Here is my BootStrap.groovy file :

 def springSecurityService
    def init = { 
            def userRole = SecRole.findByAuthority('ROLE_USER') ?: new SecRole(authority: 'ROLE_USER').save(failOnError: true)
            def adminRole = SecRole.findByAuthority('ROLE_USER') ?: new SecRole(authority: 'ROLE_USER').save(failOnError: true)     
            def adminUser = SecUser.findByUsername('antoaravinth') ?: new SecUser(
                    username: 'antoaravinth',
                    password: springSecurityService.encodePassword('secret'),
                    enabled: true).save()

                if (!adminUser.authorities.contains(adminRole)) {
                    SecUserSecRole.create adminUser, adminRole
                }
            println "adminUser is $adminUser"
            println "adminRole is $adminRole"
}

And ya when I tried grails run-app I can see both the adminUser and adminRole value printed on my console. But still I couldn’t able to log in. Why?

Thanks in advance.

The post has this update which describes why your logins fail:

Update As of version 1.2 of the Spring Security Core plugin, the
generated User class automatically encodes the password when an
instance is saved. Hence you no longer need to explicitly use
SpringSecurityService.encodePassword()
