Spring MVC - remember me security.xml

Below is a reference for (Spring 3.0) remember-me settings in WEB_INF/security.xml.

There are 4 pieces of information you need to define:

1) Enable remember-me functionality. Make sure you supply a key**. If you don't, it may not work.

auto-config

="false"  entry-point-ref="authenticationEntryPoint">

<remember-me services-ref="myRememberMeServices" key="your_key"/>

</http>

2)  Define the remember-me service

<beans:bean id="myRememberMeServices"

class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.rememberme.TokenBasedRememberMeServices" >

                    <beans:constructor-arg name="key" value="your_key"/>

                    <beans:constructor-arg name="userDetailsService" ref="userManager"/>

</beans:bean>

3) Define the remember-me filter

<beans:bean id="rememberMeFilter" class=

 "org.springframework.security.web.authentication.rememberme.RememberMeAuthenticationFilter">

  <beans:property name="rememberMeServices" ref="myRememberMeServices"/>

  <beans:property name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" />

</beans:bean>

4) Define the authentication provider

<beans:bean id="rememberMeAuthenticationProvider" class=

 "org.springframework.security.authentication.RememberMeAuthenticationProvider">

  <beans:property name="key" value="your_key"/>

</beans:bean>
