title: DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource not found while deploying an app
body: <p>I have a problem while deploying a web app. I use maven + spring security and the server keeps reporting the following problem :</p>

  <p>I tried adding the following dependency:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.ldap/spring-ldap-core/2.3.1.RELEASE" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.ldap/spring-ldap-core/2.3.1.RELEASE</a></p>
  
  <p>but the issue persisted.</p>
  
  <p>I tried both Tomcat and Glassfish to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance</p>
