Question

My MySql database is case sensitive, everything works fine in hibernate, table name in the data base are the same of my classes. But on Spring Security, the default authentication doesn’t work well, building the SQL with the first letter of the table name with lower case instead of upper case. Is there any way to make spring security understand upper case like hibernate does? Or Do I need to build a custom authentication only to change the table name to capital letter?

I suppose that you use JdbcDaoImpl (via jdbc-user-service element). If it’s true then you can provide your own SQL for default queries.

<jdbc-user-service 
    users-by-username-query="select username, password, enabled from Users where username = ?" 
    authorities-by-username-query="select username, authority from Authorities where username = ?" 
/>
