I’m using

SpringSecurity with KerberosServiceAuthenticationProvider which is Kerberos security extension. You can read how to use it on extension author’s blog. But you cannot use handler on form-login to catch authorization result. It’s because of inner construction of authorization filter chain calls. Maybe it can be considered a bug? The workaround is to implement ApplicationListener<AuthenticationSuccessEvent> and ApplicationListener<AbstractAuthenticationFailureEvent> to catch proper events.

package pl.touk.app.fe.server.security;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener; import org.springframework.security.authentication.event.AuthenticationSuccessEvent; public class UserSuccessfulLoginLogger implements ApplicationListener{ @Override public void onApplicationEvent(AuthenticationSuccessEvent event) { //do something here } }

package pl.touk.app.fe.server.security;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener; import org.springframework.security.authentication.event.AbstractAuthenticationFailureEvent; public class UserFailedLoginLogger implements ApplicationListener{ @Override public void onApplicationEvent(AbstractAuthenticationFailureEvent event) { //do something here } } Then you init beans in Spring configuration

A drawback is that one cannot have access to request and response as could have when using authentication-success-handler-ref and authentication-failure-handler-ref. But in my case I didn’t need that.

Tip! If you cannot receive AuthenticationEvents look at this page.
