| == Authentication |
| |
| The Spring Security plugin supports several approaches to authentication. |
| |
| The default approach stores users and roles in your database, and uses an HTML login form which prompts the user for a username and password. The plugin also supports other approaches as described in the sections below, as well as add-on plugins that provide external authentication providers such as https://grails.org/plugin/spring-security-ldap[LDAP], and single sign-on using https://grails.org/plugin/spring-security-cas[CAS] |
