Spring Boot Authentication Example

This is a demonstration of a custom REST authentication API. The app tries to add the CustomAuthenicationProvider to the list of AuthenticationProviders, but Boot ignores it completely and creates the UUID-password DaoAuthenticationProvider.

Usage

Launch the application and execute the curl command below from a terminal to test the login API call.

Expected behaviour is that the CustomAuthenticationProvider will be used, so that the username/password admin/admin will work. Instead Spring tries to use the default DaoAuthenticationProvider.
