Question

I’m using Spring-Security 3.1.RELEASE within a Spring Roo environment. I’ve changed the login mechanism so that it works with JSON-Response. For that I’ve created two classes (scala) namely

class JsonSuccessHandler extends SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler {
 override def onAuthenticationSuccess(request: HttpServletRequest, response: HttpServletResponse, authentication: Authentication) = {
  val responseWrapper = new HttpServletResponseWrapper(response);
  val out = responseWrapper.getWriter
  out.write("{success: true}")
  out.close
 }
}

@Repository class JsonEntryPoint extends AuthenticationEntryPoint {
 def commence(request: HttpServletRequest, response: HttpServletResponse, ae: AuthenticationException) = {
  response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED, "Unauthorized")
 }
}

The entries in application-security.xml are as follows:

<http use-expressions="true" entry-point-ref="jsonAuthenticationEntryPoint">
  <custom-filter ref="myFilter" position="FORM_LOGIN_FILTER"/>
  <custom-filter ref="rememberMeFilter" position="REMEMBER_ME_FILTER"/>

  <logout logout-url="/resources/j_spring_security_logout"/>

  <intercept-url pattern="/backend/**" access="isAuthenticated()" />
  <intercept-url pattern="/resources/**" access="permitAll" />
  <intercept-url pattern="/admin/**" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />
  <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="permitAll" />
</http>


<beans:bean id="rememberMeFilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.rememberme.RememberMeAuthenticationFilter">
  <beans:property name="rememberMeServices" ref="rememberMeServices"/>
  <beans:property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />
</beans:bean>

<beans:bean id="rememberMeServices" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.rememberme.JdbcTokenBasedRememberMeServices">
  <beans:property name="userDetailsService" ref="userServiceDb"/>
  <beans:property name="tokenRepository" ref="tokenRepository"/>
  <beans:property name="key" value="reservation" />
</beans:bean>

<beans:bean id="tokenRepository" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.rememberme.JdbcTokenRepositoryImpl">
 <beans:property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</beans:bean>


<beans:bean id="myFilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter">
  <beans:property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />
  <beans:property name="authenticationSuccessHandler" ref="mySuccessHandler" />
  <beans:property name="rememberMeServices" ref="rememberMeServices" />
  <beans:property name="usernameParameter" value="email" />
  <beans:property name="passwordParameter" value="password" />
</beans:bean>
<beans:bean id="mySuccessHandler" class="JsonSuccessHandler"/>
<beans:bean id="jsonAuthenticationEntryPoint" class="JsonEntryPoint" />

Authentication is working fine, so I can successfully login and also concerning remember-me the data is stored successfully into the database (table persistent_logins). But when I restart the server the Session is as expected deleted and the remember me functionality should do its work. Unfortunately it fails with following log data:

What am I missing? I dont’t understand why the ProviderNotFoundException is thrown.

Answer 1

You’re almost done, authentication works OK, you forgot to add RememberMeAuthenticationProvider. If you use security namespace to create AuthenticationManager, just add separate <authentication-provider> like here:

<authentication-manager>
  <authentication-provider ref="yourRegularAuthenticationProvider" />
  <authentication-provider ref="rememberMeAuthenticationProvider" />
</authentication-manager>

<beans:bean id="rememberMeAuthenticationProvider" class="org.springframework.security.authentication.RememberMeAuthenticationProvider">
  <beans:property name="key" value="reservation" />
</beans:bean>
