One of the most common ways to authenticate a user is by validating a username and password.
As such, Spring Security provides comprehensive support for authenticating with a username and password.
You can configure username and password authentication using the following:

=====
Java::

[source,java,role="primary"]
----
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeHttpRequests((authorize) -> authorize
.anyRequest().authenticated()
)
.httpBasic(Customizer.withDefaults())
.formLogin(Customizer.withDefaults());
return http.build();
}
@Bean
public UserDetailsService userDetailsService() {
UserDetails userDetails = User.withDefaultPasswordEncoder()
.username("user")
.password("password")
.roles("USER")
.build();
return new InMemoryUserDetailsManager(userDetails);
}

import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.invoke
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
class SecurityConfig {
@Bean
fun securityFilterChain(http: HttpSecurity): SecurityFilterChain {
http {
authorizeHttpRequests {
authorize(anyRequest, authenticated)
}
formLogin { }
httpBasic { }
}
return http.build()

@Bean
fun userDetailsService(): UserDetailsService {
val user = User.withDefaultPasswordEncoder()
.username("user")
.password("password")
.roles("USER")
.build()
return InMemoryUserDetailsManager(user)
}
}
----
=====
The preceding configuration automatically registers an xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/in-memory.adoc[in-memory `UserDetailsService`] with the `SecurityFilterChain`, registers the xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/dao-authentication-provider.adoc[`DaoAuthenticationProvider`] with the default xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-authenticationmanager[`AuthenticationManager`], and enables xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/form.adoc[Form Login] and xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/basic.adoc[HTTP Basic] authentication.

== Publish an `AuthenticationManager` bean
A fairly common requirement is publishing an `AuthenticationManager` bean to allow for custom authentication, such as in a `@Service` or Spring MVC `@Controller`.
For example, you may want to authenticate users via a REST API instead of using xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/form.adoc[Form Login].
You can publish such an `AuthenticationManager` for custom authentication scenarios using the following configuration:
.Publish `AuthenticationManager` bean for Custom Authentication

With the preceding configuration in place, you can create a `@RestController` that uses the `AuthenticationManager` as follows:
.Create a `@RestController` for Authentication

Java::

@RestController
public class LoginController {
private final AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
public LoginController(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager) {
this.authenticationManager = authenticationManager;
}
@PostMapping("/login")
public ResponseEntity<Void> login(@RequestBody LoginRequest loginRequest) {
Authentication authenticationRequest =
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken.unauthenticated(loginRequest.username(), loginRequest.password());
Authentication authenticationResponse =
this.authenticationManager.authenticate(authenticationRequest);
// ...
}
public record LoginRequest(String username, String password) {
}
}
----
Kotlin::
+
[source,kotlin,role="secondary"]
----
@RestController
class LoginController(val authenticationManager: AuthenticationManager) {
@PostMapping("/login")
fun login(@RequestBody loginRequest: LoginRequest): ResponseEntity<Void> {
val authenticationRequest =
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken.unauthenticated(
loginRequest.username, loginRequest.password)
val authenticationResponse =
authenticationManager.authenticate(authenticationRequest)
// ...
}
data class LoginRequest(val username: String, val password: String)
}
----
=====
[NOTE]
====
In this example, it is your responsibility to save the authenticated user in the `SecurityContextRepository` if needed.
For example, if using the `HttpSession` to persist the `SecurityContext` between requests, you can use xref:servlet/authentication/persistence.adoc#httpsecuritycontextrepository[`HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository`].
====
[[customize-global-authentication-manager]]
== Customize the `AuthenticationManager`
Normally, Spring Security builds an `AuthenticationManager` internally composed of a `DaoAuthenticationProvider` for username/password authentication.
In certain cases, it may still be desired to customize the instance of `AuthenticationManager` used by Spring Security.
For example, you may need to simply disable xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc#servlet-authentication-providermanager-erasing-credentials[credential erasure] for cached users.
The recommended way to do this is to simply publish your own `AuthenticationManager` bean, and Spring Security will use it.
You can publish an `AuthenticationManager` using the following configuration:
.Publish `AuthenticationManager` bean for Spring Security

Alternatively, you can take advantage of the fact that the `AuthenticationManagerBuilder` used to build Spring Security's global `AuthenticationManager` is published as a bean.
You can configure the builder as follows:
.Configure global `AuthenticationManagerBuilder`
