Discussion on: Spring Security with JWT

For starters, great introduction to JWT security! But i was looking around to see if i could authenticate users with a database instead of the in memory database that is used by default. Do you happen to have an example for this?

EDIT:
Few minutes after i asked the question i stumbled upon the answer...

for those interested i changed this:

auth.inMemoryAuthentication()
        .withUser("user")
        .password(passwordEncoder().encode("password"))
        .authorities("ROLE_USER");

to this

auth.userDetailsService(customUserDetailsService)
        .passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());

password encoder is just a constructor for a BcryptEncoder, and the userdetail service provides a method to load by username from the repository, and get authorities.
