Error while connecting with wrong user

Question

I have a project where I use Spring Boot, Spring Security and Spring MVC. I configure Spring Security to authenticate with our company ldap.

When I try to log-in with a correct user, it works. But when I log-in with a wrong password or a wrong user, it returns an error :

I don't understand why I have this error.I excepted to be redirected to the failure page (/login?error).

Here is my configuration :

@Autowired
private PortalUserDetailsService portalUserDetailsService;

@Autowired
private LoginSuccessHandler loginSuccessHandler;

@Autowired
private LogoutSuccessHandler LogoutSuccessHandler;

@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    // Manage access authority to pages
    http
        .csrf().disable()
        .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/about").permitAll()
            .anyRequest()
            .fullyAuthenticated().and()
        .httpBasic().and()
        .formLogin()
            .loginPage("/login")
            .permitAll()
            .successHandler(loginSuccessHandler)
            .failureUrl("/login?error" ).and()
        .logout()
            .logoutRequestMatcher(new AntPathRequestMatcher("/logout"))
            .permitAll()
            .logoutSuccessHandler(LogoutSuccessHandler);
}


@Override
public void configure( WebSecurity web ) throws Exception
{
    // This is here to ensure that the static content (JavaScript, CSS, etc)
    // is accessible without authentication
    web
        .ignoring()
        .antMatchers("/css/**", "/fonts/**", "/img/**", "/js/**", "/webjars/**");
}

@Override
public void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
    auth.authenticationProvider(activeDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider());
}

@Bean
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManager() {
    return new ProviderManager(Arrays.asList(activeDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider()));
}

@Bean
public AuthenticationProvider activeDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider() {
    ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider provider = new ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider(domain, ldapUrl);
    provider.setConvertSubErrorCodesToExceptions(true);
    provider.setUseAuthenticationRequestCredentials(true);
    provider.setUserDetailsContextMapper(getUserDetailsContextMapper());
    return provider;
}

private UserDetailsContextMapper getUserDetailsContextMapper() {
    return new UserDetailsContextMapper() {
        @Override
        public UserDetails mapUserFromContext(DirContextOperations dirContextOperations, String s, Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> collection) {
            PortalUserDetails portalUserDetails = portalUserDetailsService.loadZenithAttributesByUsername(s);
            try {
                portalUserDetails = portalUserDetailsService.addLdapAttributesFromContext(dirContextOperations.getAttributes(), portalUserDetails);
            } catch (NamingException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return portalUserDetails;
        }

        @Override
        public void mapUserToContext(UserDetails userDetails, DirContextAdapter dirContextAdapter) {
        }

    };
}

Do you have any idea what I can do to fix this error ?

Solution : This problem was in my redis configuration. I change the config like this :

@Primary
@Bean
public RedisTemplate<String,ExpiringSession> redisTemplate2(RedisConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {
    RedisTemplate<String, ExpiringSession> template = new RedisTemplate<String, ExpiringSession>();

    template.setHashValueSerializer(new LdapFailAwareRedisObjectSerializer());

    template.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
    return template;
}

With this custom serializer :

public class LdapFailAwareRedisObjectSerializer implements RedisSerializer<Object> {

private Converter<Object, byte[]> serializer = new SerializingConverter();
private Converter<byte[], Object> deserializer = new DeserializingConverter();

static final byte[] EMPTY_ARRAY = new byte[0];

public Object deserialize(byte[] bytes) {
    if (isEmpty(bytes)) {
        return null;
    }
    else {
        try {
            return this.deserializer.convert(bytes);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            throw new SerializationException("Cannot deserialize", ex);
        }
    }
}

public byte[] serialize(Object object) {
    if (object == null) {
        return EMPTY_ARRAY;
    }

    try {
        return serializer.convert(object);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        return EMPTY_ARRAY;
        //TODO add logic here to only return EMPTY_ARRAY for known conditions
        // else throw the SerializationException
        // throw new SerializationException("Cannot serialize", ex);
    }
}

private boolean isEmpty(byte[] data) {
    return (data == null || data.length == 0);
}
}

While trying to serialize the failed login response its breaking. If u run the app with valid login & capture respective trace too then probably we could isolate y its able to serialize on success but not onfailure:-org.springframework.core.serializer.support.SerializationFailedException: Failed to serialize object using DefaultSerializer; nested exception is java.io.NotSerializableException: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx at org.springframework.data.redis.serializer.JdkSerializationRedisSerializer.serialize(JdkSerializationRedisSerializer.java:52) ~[spring-data-redis-1.6.0.RC1.jar:1.6.0.RC1] — Avis, Sep 22 '15 at 09:13

I was having a similar problem please have a look at the solution.

I needed to replace the Redis Template that spring-session was using so that I could look for the com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx object and prevent spring from attempting to serialize it.

Thanks for your answers. That was my problem. I change the serializer and now it works. – YLombardi Sep 28 '15 at 08:19
