Grails Spring Security use email to login
Posted By : Akash Sharma | 08-Feb-2014
Spring security uses two fields combination for authenticating a user while login.
First is :
grails.plugin.springsecurity.userLookup.usernamePropertyName
and the second is password field.
By default field usernamePropertyName is set to username in DefaultSecurityConfig.groovy file of spring security core plugin.
You can override this feature and use any other field of User domain like email or mobileNumber for user authentication.
If you want to authenticate a user via email and password combination while login, you can add this line to your conf.groovy file
grails.plugin.springsecurity.userLookup.usernamePropertyName='email'
Now after adding this line , spring security will store user’s email in session.
So , the output of tag <sec:username/> will give you current user’s email.
