This section covers only the configuration of the Elastic Social extensions for Spring Security. Please refer to the Spring Security Reference Documentation for details about configuration of Spring Security. Elastic Social provides a social-spring-security module which contains Spring Security auto configurations and further classes (like UserAuthenticationProvider) which are used for authentication against the user database provided by the CommunityUserService.

For customizations replace the SocialWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter by adding your own WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter implementation. Whether extend your implementation from the SocialWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter or replicate its configurations. For more detailed information see API documentation for package com.coremedia.elastic.social.springsecurity.
