Spring Security DB Authentication w/Hibernate and hashed passwords?
- by Seth
I'm trying to set up spring security 3 to authenticate users against my hibernate 3 database. I'm storing only sha1 hashes of the passwords in the database (not plaintext).
I've looked at this and this, which tell me to implement my own UserDetailsService. Unfortunately, the UserDetails that loadUserByUsername spits out seem to need the plaintext password, which I don't have.
How is this usually handled? Can Spring Security actually do what I need here? Am I missing something?
