Description:

Field authenticationManager in com.cps.controllers.AuthController required a bean of type 'org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager' that could not be found.

The injection point has the following annotations:
- @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager' in your configuration.
Any idea???

This method you are using for initializing your bean:

    @Bean
    @Override
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
        return super.authenticationManagerBean();
    }

By default, spring creates the bean's name the same as the bean initializing method name. So in your project, spring creates a bean of type AuthenticationManager named as authenticationManagerBean.
So you now have three options:

• use @Qualifier("authenticationManagerBean") while autowiring the field (as mentioned by @harry)
• use the spring's default bean name in your controller class

    @Autowired
    private AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean;

• change the bean initializing method's name to authenticationManager

Add qualifier in the controller class (AuthController) in order to access the bean.

 @Autowired
 @Qualifier("authenticationManagerBean")
 private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
