  4. {security-api-url}org/springframework/security/authentication/dao/DaoAuthenticationProvider.html[`DaoAuthenticationProvider`] is an xref:servlet/authentication/architecture/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-authenticationprovider[`AuthenticationProvider`] implementation that leverages a xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/user-details-service.adoc#servlet-authentication-userdetailsservice[`UserDetailsService`] and xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/password-encoder.adoc#servlet-authentication-password-storage[`PasswordEncoder`] to authenticate a username and password.
  5. Let's take a look at how `DaoAuthenticationProvider` works within Spring Security.
  6. The figure explains details of how the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-authenticationmanager[`AuthenticationManager`] in figures from xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-unpwd-input[Reading the Username & Password] works.
  7. .`DaoAuthenticationProvider` Usage

  9. image:{icondir}/number_1.png[] The authentication `Filter` from xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-unpwd-input[Reading the Username & Password] passes a `UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken` to the `AuthenticationManager` which is implemented by xref:servlet/authentication/architecture/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-providermanager[`ProviderManager`].
  10. image:{icondir}/number_2.png[] The `ProviderManager` is configured to use an xref:servlet/authentication/architecture/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-authenticationprovider[AuthenticationProvider] of type `DaoAuthenticationProvider`.
  11. image:{icondir}/number_3.png[] `DaoAuthenticationProvider` looks up the `UserDetails` from the `UserDetailsService`.
  12. image:{icondir}/number_4.png[] `DaoAuthenticationProvider` then uses the xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/password-encoder.adoc#servlet-authentication-password-storage[`PasswordEncoder`] to validate the password on the `UserDetails` returned in the previous step.
  13. image:{icondir}/number_5.png[] When authentication is successful, the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-authentication[`Authentication`] that is returned is of type `UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken` and has a principal that is the `UserDetails` returned by the configured `UserDetailsService`.
  14. Ultimately, the returned `UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken` will be set on the xref:servlet/authentication/architecture/index.adoc#servlet-authentication-securitycontextholder[`SecurityContextHolder`] by the authentication `Filter`.
