Regarding in memory Authetication

hello friends,

Please refer - http://forum.springsource.org/showth...-1-Please-Help for viewing the solution to this problem.

i am developing new project with spring 3.1 and Spring security 3.1.
I have developed one project earlier and have copied most of the config files from that.

for testing page level security I plan to use in-memory authentication later actual database authentication can be used
as i have done before.

the part of security xml is as follows

<security:authentication-manager>
<security:authentication-provider>
<security:user-service>
<security:user name="owner" password="test" authorities="ROLE_OWNER" />
<security:user name="ceo" password="test" authorities="ROLE_CEO" />
<security:user name="srmgr" password="test" authorities="ROLE_SR_MGR" />
<security:user name="mgr" password="test" authorities="ROLE_MGR" />
<security:user name="opr" password="test" authorities="ROLE_OPR" />
<security:user name="user" password="test" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
</security:user-service>
</security:authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>

I tried to login but every time spring says bad credentials.

the actual part of debug log is as follows.

12:06:19 032 DEBUG No SecurityContext was available from the HttpSession: org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSessionFacade@ bb82ef9. A new one will be created.
12:06:19 032 DEBUG /j_spring_security_check at position 3 of 10 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'LogoutFilter'
12:06:19 032 DEBUG /j_spring_security_check at position 4 of 10 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter'
12:06:19 032 DEBUG Request is to process authentication
12:06:19 033 DEBUG Authentication attempt using org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.Da oAuthenticationProvider
12:06:19 033 DEBUG User '' not found

it seems that spring is not getting proper username and password strings or in correct authentication manager is
being called.
the login form has j_username, j_password fields.


Can somebody guide me what is wrong going on here ?

Thanks and warm regards
