cxf-rt-ws-security 2.2.1 works and 2.3.11 does not with the same code

Hi,

I have a custom callbackhandler and custom userdetailsservice in my
application.

I use cxf-rt-ws-security 2.2.1

Here is snippet from my custom callbackhandler.

protected void handleWSPasswordCallback(WSPasswordCallback callback) {
String username = callback.getIdentifer(); //For 2.3.11 this changes
to getIdentifier
String password = callback.getPassword();
try {
String encPwd =
PasswordDigest.encryptAccountPassword(password);
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken token = new
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(username, encPwd);
Authentication auth =
authenticationManager.authenticate(token);
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(auth);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new SecurityException("Authentication Failed.");

and here is a snippet from the custom userdetailsservice.

public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username) throws
UsernameNotFoundException, DataAccessException {
String accountId = accountMatcher.group (1);
Account account = serviceLocator.getAccountRepository ().lookupAccount (new
Long (accountId));

// Grant our base authorities.
List<GrantedAuthority> authorities = new ArrayList<GrantedAuthority> ();
authorities.add (new GrantedAuthorityImpl (ROLE_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT));

UserDetails userDetails = new User (username, account.getPassword(), true,
true, true, account.isStatusActive (), authorities.toArray (new
GrantedAuthority[authorities.size ()]));

return userDetails;

This code works perfectly fine with cxf version 2.2.1.
The moment I change the version to 2.3.11, it starts giving me "Bad
Credentials" exception.

Can someone please help me with this. If I debug the code in 2.3.11, the
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken password and the password is the db is
exactly the same. I still get "Bad Credentials".

Jasmina
