Spring Security java.lang.StackOverflowError exception after all providers

Question

Environment:

• Spring 4.1.6
• Spring Security 4.0.1

I have 2 authentication providers - one that hits ActiveDirectory, and then one that hi

Answer 1

I had the same problem and another solution worked in my case. The difference is, that I had simply username and password, database authentication.

@Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder authManagerBuilder) throws Exception {
    authManagerBuilder
            .userDetailsService(userDetailsService())
            .passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
}

@Bean
UserDetailsService userDetailsService() {
    return new UserDetailsService();
}

The fix was to add the @Override annotation to the @Bean annotated method:

@Bean
@Override
UserDetailsService userDetailsService() {
    return new UserDetailsService();
}
