Spring Security UI - Disable mail sending on RegisterController

0
votes

I'm trying to disable mail sending to newly registered users from Register Spring Security UI's RegisterController because I do not have a mail server installed on my local machine.

I've followed the steps from here all works ok, until it tried to send the registration mail.

Questions:

  1. Is there a configurable parameter on SS UI that disables mail sending?
  2. If the answer to point 1 is negative what would be the correct approach to disable that? Modify and build SS UI plugin or subclass RegisterController?

Environment:

  • Grails 2.4.4
  • Spring Security UI 1.0-RC2
  • Spring Security Core 2.0-RC4

There is no configuration parameter on SS UI to disable sending e-mails. The correct approach, according to the documentation, is to use s2-ui-override script. This allows you to target the package/section you want to override.

From the documentation:

The plugin's controllers and GSPs are easily overridden using the s2ui-override script. The general syntax for running the script is

grails s2ui-override <type> <controller-package>

The script will copy an empty controller that extends the corresponding plugin controller into your application so you can override individual actions and methods as needed. It also copies the controller's GSPs. The exceptions are 'auth' and 'layout' which only copy GSPs.
