Grails and ACEGI security plugin - How to prevent login from security event listener?

I have the following event listener in SecurityConfig

security {

  active = true
  useSecurityEventListener = true

  //...

  onInteractiveAuthenticationSuccessEvent  = { e, appCtx ->
    // handle InteractiveAuthenticationSuccessEvent

    //how to cancel user login from here??    
  }

}

How to prevent user from logging in from that point?

Solution

  • I think that the problem is once you receive the event, the user is already logged in. What I believe you need to do is create a custom AccessDecisionVoter to perform your access logic. I haven't tried it myself but the spring security plugin docs (voters section) give some details on how to set one up. It looks simple enough judging by the code for the acegi AuthenticatedVoter
