Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter	Abstract processor of browser-based HTTP-based authentication requests.
AbstractAuthenticationTargetUrlRequestHandler	Base class containing the logic used by strategies which handle redirection to a URL and are passed an Authentication object as part of the contract.
AnonymousAuthenticationFilter	Detects if there is no Authentication object in the SecurityContextHolder, and populates it with one if needed.
AuthenticationEntryPointFailureHandler	Adapts a AuthenticationEntryPoint into a AuthenticationFailureHandler
AuthenticationFilter	A Filter that performs authentication of a particular request.
DelegatingAuthenticationEntryPoint	An AuthenticationEntryPoint which selects a concrete AuthenticationEntryPoint based on a RequestMatcher evaluation.
DelegatingAuthenticationFailureHandler	An AuthenticationFailureHandler that delegates to other AuthenticationFailureHandler instances based upon the type of AuthenticationException passed into DelegatingAuthenticationFailureHandler.onAuthenticationFailure(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, AuthenticationException) .
ExceptionMappingAuthenticationFailureHandler	Uses the internal map of exceptions types to URLs to determine the destination on authentication failure.
ForwardAuthenticationFailureHandler	Forward Authentication Failure Handler
ForwardAuthenticationSuccessHandler	Forward Authentication Success Handler
Http403ForbiddenEntryPoint	In the pre-authenticated authentication case (unlike CAS, for example) the user will already have been identified through some external mechanism and a secure context established by the time the security-enforcement filter is invoked.
HttpStatusEntryPoint	An AuthenticationEntryPoint that sends a generic HttpStatus as a response.
LoginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint	Used by the ExceptionTranslationFilter to commence a form login authentication via the UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.
NullRememberMeServices	Implementation of NullRememberMeServices that does nothing.
SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler	An authentication success strategy which can make use of the DefaultSavedRequest which may have been stored in the session by the ExceptionTranslationFilter.
SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler	AuthenticationFailureHandler which performs a redirect to the value of the defaultFailureUrl property when the onAuthenticationFailure method is called.
SimpleUrlAuthenticationSuccessHandler	AuthenticationSuccessHandler which can be configured with a default URL which users should be sent to upon successful authentication.
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter	Processes an authentication form submission.
WebAuthenticationDetails	A holder of selected HTTP details related to a web authentication request.
WebAuthenticationDetailsSource	Implementation of AuthenticationDetailsSource which builds the details object from an HttpServletRequest object, creating a WebAuthenticationDetails .
