Question

I’m having the following error:

here’s my config:

grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.search.derefLink = true    
grails.plugins.springsecurity.providerNames = ['ldapAuthProvider','anonymousAuthenticationProvider']

//grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.authorities.retrieveDatabaseRoles = false
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.context.managerDn = 'XXX\XXX'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.context.managerPassword = 'changeme'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.context.server = 'ldap://my.ldap.service:389/'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.authorities.ignorePartialResultException = true // typically needed for Active Directory
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.search.base = 'DC=XXX,DC=com' 
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.search.filter="sAMAccountName={0}" // for Active Directory you need this
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.search.searchSubtree = true
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.auth.hideUserNotFoundExceptions = false

grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.useRememberMe = false
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.authorities.retrieveGroupRoles = true
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.authorities.groupSearchBase ='dc=*,dc=*'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.ldap.authorities.groupSearchFilter = 'member={0}'

I’ve tried gazillions of combinations, but it seems that grails always tries the rememberMe service:

rememberme.TokenBasedRememberMeServices - Interactive login attempt was unsuccessful

I’ve managed to solve it. It was a configuration error. Here’s a link for posterity: https://gist.github.com/1053710
