Grails Spring-Core-Security: Adding ACCOUNT field for authentication

[Frik]

Hi,

For our needs, we have 3 fields required to authenticate a user:
- account number
- username
- password

This allow accounts to create usernames that potentially might be the same in another account.  However, this is not a problem as they are unique by account:username and working great in Grails.

The challenge is with the Spring-Core-Security plugin that only authenticates with username and password.  I have done a lot of reading and tried to make it work.  Here are some of the things I tried:
- SpringSecurityUtils.clientRegisterFilter
- AuthenticationProvider

What is the right way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
Frik

This is a development question and not a user question IMO.  I apologize if I am confused about the use of this list, but I am trying to develop a filter or something else that would pull another field from the http post and use that field in addition to username and password when authenticating a user.

Should this development question be posted to the User group?

It's a question about developing an app using Grails, not developing Grails itself.
