We have been working with a single Authentication Manager (LDAP) in spring security for some time, now we require two Authentication Managers one for Login- LDAP and other for IP based security. As IP based security is used as a global filter and LDAP only for login. Hence the two Authentication Managers. We tried the solution in similar questions, however still facing the same problem.
The error code is :
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.filterChainProxy': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A universal match pattern ('/**') **is defined before other patterns in the filter chain, causing them to be ignored. Please check the ordering in your namespace or FilterChainProxy bean configuration
