Spring security with AD Authentication and Database Authorization

Question

I'm trying to implement the solution of this question

Spring Security 3 Active Directory Authentication, Database Authorization

but i don't understand how to use the MyAuthoritySupplementingProvider .

Is there someone that can help me?

Answer 1

i think MyAuthoritySupplementingProvider should be specified in

<beans:bean id="activeDirectoryAuthenticationProvider"
        class="xxx.package.MyAuthoritySupplementingProvider">
    <beans:constructor-arg value="mydomain" />
    <beans:constructor-arg value="ldap://my URL :389" />
    <beans:property name="convertSubErrorCodesToExceptions" value="true"/>
</beans:bean>

i am not sure weather this will work or not but to get more detail you should refer to book "Spring Security 3" Chapter 9 for ldap and active directory configuration and options, this will help you understand this in better way instead of just going through SO post.
