Preauthentication problem

[John Eric Hamacher]

Hello:

I am trying to get to PreAuthentication working. I am following the official Spring docs but have missed something. I get the following error:

"Cannot convert value of type [yyy.zzz.security.XXXXAuthenticationUserDetailsServ ice] to required type [org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User DetailsService] for property 'userDetailsService': no matching editors or conversion strategy found"

Somehow I am not wrapping my service correctly. Any help would appreciated. Eric.

public class XXXAuthenticationUserDetailsService implements
		AuthenticationUserDetailsService<PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationToken> {
	
	
	private XXXService xxxService = null;

	@Override
	public UserDetails loadUserDetails(PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationToken token) throws UsernameNotFoundException {

		... some processing to get authorities ...

		user.setGrantedAuthroities(~~~~~~);
		return user;
	}

public class BBBPreAuthenticationFilter extends RequestHeaderAuthenticationFilter {
	

	@Override
	public Object getPreAuthenticatedPrincipal(HttpServletRequest request) {
		
		String authHeader = request.getHeader("Authorization");
		if (authHeader == null || authHeader.equals("")) {
			Log.getGeneralLogger().fatal("No authorization header");
			throw new AccessDeniedException("Internal problem.  Please contact ABC.");
		}
		return authHeader;
	}
}

Try with following.

<beans:bean id="preauthAuthProvider"  
                class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.preauth.PreAuthenticatedAuthenticationProvider">  
        <beans:property name="preAuthenticatedUserDetailsService" ref="xxxAuthenticationUserDetailsService"/>  
    </beans:bean>  
              
    <beans:bean id="xxxAuthenticationUserDetailsService" class="yyy.zzz.security.XXXAuthenticationUserDetailsService">  
        <beans:property name="xxxService" ref="xxxService"/>    
    </beans:bean>
