Ldap Authentication failed message comes up "No AuthenticationProvider..."

[lichtenw]

Hi,

Using Ldap for Authentication. Authentication is working fine when entering the correct username/password. When the username or password is entered incorrectly this error message appears:

2008-08-22 11:27:11,543 DEBUG [org.springframework.security.ui.webapp.Authenticat ionProcessingFilter] - Authentication request failed: org.springframework.security.providers.ProviderNot FoundException: No AuthenticationProvider found for org.springframework.security.providers.UsernamePas swordAuthenticationToken

I'd like to know if it's possible to get a more meaningful error message like incorrect username or incorrect password. The error message is propagated to the UI, the "No AuthenticationProvider found ..." error message doesn't make much sense to the normal user.

thanks

You are using Acegi Security and Spring Security jars in the same app. This won't work.

Thank you so much for the reply.
I am trying to do LDAP authentication for last 3 days but still no luck.
I updated the applicationcontext file to use pure spring security removing acegi references but still I am getting the same error. Please help.
attached is my updated file.

Start with the LDAP sample application - i.e. a working configuration. Then modify it to fit your needs. You cannot configure a ProviderManager for use with the namespace - this is explained in the reference manual.
