Return username and password to login form grails spring security

Question

When a user fails authentication, I want the username and password to be returned to the form. I\'m using the spring security core plugin with Grails and Spring Security LD

Answer 1

From UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter javadoc:

If you want to retain the username, cache it in a customized AuthenticationFailureHandler

As for password there is no point to cache it, because it cannot be put back to form password field for security reasons.
