Custom X509AuthenticationFilter

[wasalto]

Hi,

I have extended the X509AuthenticationFilter and I try to use it in my application but it doesn't work. I am not sure if what I am doing is right and I try to follow Peter'book instructions.

I really need your help.
Thank you.

Here is my code

and that's the error I have 
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with

Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is

<openid-login/> or <x509 /> elements.

[Luke Taylor]

There error looks like it is coming from a different configuration than the one you've posted.

[wasalto]

Maybe should I join my web.xml file and applicationContext-security.xml. Here They are.

In my applicationContext-security.xml, I'm not sure whether I sould have the <x509/> tag or not.

So you have two security configuration files, one using the namespace and one configuring its own FilterChainProxy. Use one approach or the other, but not both in combination.

I would make sure you can get a standard setup running before you try adding custom filters. If you want to use a custom X509 filter then you would not add the x509 element as this will add the standard filter.

Hi i am trying to write a file with only spring beans configuration but i am having some problems.I know that I have to replicate the funtionality of <global-method-security> but i don't know how. I have an error saying that No visible WebInvocationPrivilegeEvaluator instance could be found in the application context.

Here is my new security.xml file.

If you have an error message, then do a forum/google search for the error message.

Ok thank you so now I can authenticate a user with a certificate using the CN, but I would like to authenticate someone using the serial number of the certificate.
Do you know how can i do this ?

I am trying to do this exact same thing and somehow I have lost my authentication providers. Would it be possible for you to post your application security context file so I can see how you wired in the providers.

Thanks,

Chris
