Spring Security Authentication Manager

Spring Security Authentication Manager

Spring Security's authentication service is defined in security.xml, which is located in <Web App Source>/WEB-INF/conf/spring/security. The <authentication-manager> element of security.xml defines the bean Spring Security uses for authentication. In Elastic Path Commerce, authentication is handled by the customerAuthenticationDao bean. The XML examples below show how the <authentication-manager> element is wired to the <customerAuthenticationDao> bean.

Authentication Manager Bean

		<!-- To enable transparent upgrading of customer password encryption after authentication in Storefront,
