Question

I’m new to Spring Security, I used it only for the authorization. I know, that Spring Security provides authentication and authorization solutions. Of course, in some cases registration is nothing more than checking a validity of email, confirmed password and so on, putting user’s data in the database. Is there any Spring Security’s code that should be used for the registration? I didn’t find any registration tutorials (but there are a lot of login tutorials). Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

By now there is no standardized registration process. You need to write a Service implementing UserDetailsService an pass it to your authentication-manager (here a DAO is used):

<authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager">
  <authentication-provider user-service-ref="userDao" />
</authentication-manager>
