LDAP and DAO auth providers: There is no PasswordEncoder mapped for the id "null

[sdelamo]

In a a Grails 4 app with multiple authentication providers:

grails:
    plugin:
        springsecurity:
            providerNames:
                - daoAuthenticationProvider
                - ldapAuthProvider
                - anonymousAuthenticationProvider

if I try to authenticate with a username/password set, which matches a LDAP username but not the LDAP password I get:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: There is no PasswordEncoder mapped for the id "null"

Grails Spring security core 4.x versions use DelegatingPasswordEncoder. See What's new in Version 4.0.

Spring Security suggested workaround:

Troubleshooting

The following error occurs when one of the passwords that are stored has no id as described in Password Storage Format.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: There is no PasswordEncoder mapped for the id "null"
    at org.springframework.security.crypto.password.DelegatingPasswordEncoder$UnmappedIdPasswordEncoder.matches(DelegatingPasswordEncoder.java:233)
    at org.springframework.security.crypto.password.DelegatingPasswordEncoder.matches(DelegatingPasswordEncoder.java:196)
The easiest way to resolve the error is to switch to explicitly provide the PasswordEncoder that you passwords are encoded with. The easiest way to resolve it is to figure out how your passwords are currently being stored and explicitly provide the correct PasswordEncoder.

If you were using the default Bcrypt password encoder in a Grails 3 app you could setup:

grails-app/spring/resources.groovy

...
beans = {
    ...
   ..
    ConfigObject springSecurityConf = SpringSecurityUtils.securityConfig
    int strength = springSecurityConf.password.bcrypt.logrounds as int
    passwordEncoder(BCryptPasswordEncoder, [strength] as Object[])
    daoAuthenticationProvider(DaoAuthenticationProvider) {
        userDetailsService = ref('userDetailsService')
        passwordEncoder = ref('passwordEncoder')
        userCache = ref('userCache')
        preAuthenticationChecks = ref('preAuthenticationChecks')
        postAuthenticationChecks = ref('postAuthenticationChecks')
        authoritiesMapper = ref('authoritiesMapper')
        hideUserNotFoundExceptions = true
    }
}
