This section covers only the configuration of the Elastic Social extensions for Spring Security. Please refer to ???? and the Spring Security Reference Documentation for details about customizing the Spring Security configuration for the CAE.

Elastic Social provides a social-spring-security module which contains Spring Security auto configurations and further classes (like UserAuthenticationProvider) that are used for authentication against the user database provided by the CommunityUserService. For customizations extend the SocialHttpSecurityConfigurer, override its configure methods and provide it as a bean.
