Authenticationmanager must be specified

Explanation:

The error message “authenticationmanager must be specified” usually occurs when you try to configure Spring Security but you haven’t defined an AuthenticationManager bean in your application’s configuration.

The AuthenticationManager is a key component of Spring Security that is responsible for authenticating user credentials and performing security-related operations.

To resolve this issue, you can define an AuthenticationManager bean in your Spring configuration. Here’s an example:

  import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
  import org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager;
  import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
  import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

  @EnableWebSecurity
  public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
  
      @Bean
      @Override
      public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
          return super.authenticationManagerBean();
      }
      
      // Other security configurations...
  }
  

In this example, we use the @EnableWebSecurity annotation to enable the default Spring Security configuration. Then, we extend the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class to provide our custom security configurations.

Inside the SecurityConfig class, we override the authenticationManagerBean method which creates and returns an instance of the AuthenticationManager bean.

Make sure you have the necessary dependencies in your project’s build file (pom.xml if you’re using Maven) and that your security configurations are properly registered in your application.

Hope this helps!
