In your application context you need
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security" xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-2.0.4.xsd"> <http> [...] </http> <beans:bean id="myAuthenticationProvider" class="com.example.security.MyAuthenticationProvider"> <custom-authentication-provider/> </beans:bean> |
If you are using username and password authentication, your bean can then extend the abstract base class that comes with Spring:
org.springframework.security.providers.dao.AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider |
