Description

Mirko Caserta (Migrated from SEC-1910) said:

Using only the documentation on the website I wasn't able to find out that, in order for remember me auth to work, the login form requires a checkbox with name '_spring_security_remember_me'.

It took me a good deal of head scratching and grepping through the examples' source code to discover this.
