Я работаю над приложением на основе Spring-MVC, в котором мы используем Spring-Security для входа в систему, авторизации. Ранее мы использовали версию 3.2.5, а обновление было 4.1.1. Однако после обновления механизм входа в систему не работает, так как отправленное имя пользователя равно нулю. Я не знаю, что происходит не так. Любая помощь будет хорошей.
