User management plugin/framework for Grails?

Question

Is there a user-management plugin for grails?

Nearly every website requires things like:

• Users Login/Authentication
• Registration (w/ email verification)
• Forgotten email reminders User
• User Profiles

Are there any Grails plugins/frameworks/whatever that provide things like this as a base to build upon?

I know how to build these things, so I'm not looking for that type of answer. It just seems silly for every person out there to re-implement this type of basic functionality.

A similar example in Java would be AppFuse, but that is far more involved than what I'm looking for here.

Answer 1

There are a couple I know of,

http://www.grails.org/AcegiSecurity+Plugin

based on the popular Acegi Security (now called Spring Security), possibly a little heavyweight for what you want.

and secondly

http://www.grails.org/Authentication+Plugin

which is a far lighter weight implementation.

Others can be found at http://www.grails.org/Plugins, under 'Security Plugins'

Answer 2

If you're interested in a Spring-security based solution you could look at Stark:

Anyone looking at this question today in 2010 would do well to look at the Nimble plugin: http://www.grails.org/plugin/nimble
