Grails - Acegi: Customize Authentication Method

Question

I want to change the authentication process that is used by the Acegi - Plugin. It should be a completely customized process. Custom login form + custom auth method.

Obviously there is only little documentation regarding this topic.

In the book The Definitive Guide to Grails it is described for an older version of grails. There the spring/resources.xml is used.

In the new version is a spring/resources.groovy file, where a DSL is used. I don't know how to configure a new AuthenticationManager.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

In respect to the form, you should have a auth.gsp under /grails-wapp/views/login. In respect to authentication, you probably only need to injet a different AuthenticateService in LoginController, which is under /grails-app/controllers/.
