Spring Security Additional Logged in user information

Question

I have created a Spring security application. When the user logs in the user name and roles get stored in Security Context. The same can be retrieved using Object principal = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();

How can I store the additional user information like user ID, Email, Associated Branch ID etc in the context?

Answer 1

The basic idea is to implement a custom UserDetails . You can read this question for a longer explanation.
