Custom login checks (Grails Spring Security)

Question

In our system, users are never deleted from the database. What we do is to anonymize their information and add a timestamp in the date_delete column.

How do I configure Grails Spring Security to check that a user is not "soft deleted" from the DB?

Answer 1

You will need to implement the UserDetailsService interface and within the loadUserByUsername method you can customize the way users are located.

Refer to the Custom UserDetailsService within the plugin documentation for more information.
