I think the code you're referring to is:

// log user in automatically
Authentication auth = new
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(user.getUsername(),                 
user.getConfirmPassword());
try {
   ProviderManager authenticationManager = (ProviderManager)
getBean("authenticationManager");
  
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authenticationManager.doAuthentication(auth));
} catch (NoSuchBeanDefinitionException n) {
    // ignore, should only happen when testing
}

The problem here is that you use the clean text password,
getConfirmPassword(), to create the authentication token.  I have an SLA
with my client stating that I will at no time store a clean text password in
the database :S

Any ideas ? :(
