Is this a proper configuration?

[inewie]

I get several errros with the following applicationContext-security.xml, and particularly this one:
[/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml] is invalid; nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'ldap-authentication-provider'

Notice the dots (...) in the URL: http://www.springframework.org/schem...-beans-3.0.xsd in your beans declaration. This incomplete URL could be the problem.

Try replacing your beans declaration with this:

<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-3.0.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd">
