Question

My User domain class extends SecUser.

User has a property ’email’.

Spring security uses SecUser’s ‘username’ to login.

I need to use ’email’ to login. Is there a way to do this?

Edit (from the accepted answer):

I deleted SecUser’s username property and added email property.

Then I added this line to Config.groovy:

grails.plugins.springsecurity.userLookup.usernamePropertyName = ’email’

Answer 1

RTFM my friend 🙂

http://grails-plugins.github.com/grails-spring-security-core/docs/manual/guide/single.html#4.1%20Person%20Class

userLookup.usernamePropertyName 'username'  User class username field

Add to Config.grooy:

grails.plugins.springsecurity.userLookup.usernamePropertyName='email'

newer versions of grails are using a prefix of

grails.plugin.springsecurity instead of grails.plugins.springsecurity
