Remember-me not working .. throws java.lang.IllegalStateException: UserDetailsService is required

Question

Following the guidlines of below tutorial I implemented remember-me functionality

http://www.baeldung.com/spring-security-remember-me

But when I run the program it throws java.lang.IllegalStateException: UserDetailsService is required. whereas UserDetails service is implemented properly. Below is the configure method and registration of userDetailsWebService.

@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

    // @formatter:off
     http
     .authorizeRequests()
         .antMatchers("/", "/home","/login","/adduser","/verifyemail", 
                 "/baduser", "/resetmypassword","/resetpasswordlink").permitAll()
         .antMatchers("/tasks").hasAnyAuthority("APP_USER","APP_TENURED_USER","ADMIN")
         .antMatchers("/resetpasswordpage","/resetpassword").hasAuthority(TaskFirstConstants.RESET_PASSWORD_ACCESS)
         .antMatchers("/resetpasswordpage","/resetpassword").hasRole("")
         .anyRequest().authenticated()
         .and().rememberMe().key("uniqueAndSecret")     //  -- here
         .and()
     .formLogin()
         .loginProcessingUrl("/perform_login")
         .loginPage("/login")
         .defaultSuccessUrl("/tasks")
         .permitAll()
         .and()
     .logout()
         .permitAll()
         .logoutSuccessUrl("/login");

    // @formatter:on
}

@Bean
@Autowired
public DaoAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider(PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder, UserDetailsService userDetailsService ){
    DaoAuthenticationProvider daoAuthenticationProvider = new DaoAuthenticationProvider();
    daoAuthenticationProvider.setPasswordEncoder(passwordEncoder);
    daoAuthenticationProvider.setUserDetailsService(userDetailsService);
    return daoAuthenticationProvider;       
}

Complete error log is below ..

Answer 1

Well it started to work after I registered UserDetailsService for remember me functionality. Using below code..

.and()
  .rememberMe()
    .key("uniqueAndSecret")
        .userDetailsService(userDetailsService);

as mentioned on https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/

Don’t forget to add your RememberMeServices implementation to your UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.setRememberMeServices() property, include the RememberMeAuthenticationProvider in your AuthenticationManager.setProviders() list, and add RememberMeAuthenticationFilter into your FilterChainProxy (typically immediately after your UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter).

But I am still not sure why it didn't pick the default from DaoAuthenticationProvider... anybody??
