Users management with Play! Framework 2.0.3

I'm a complete newbie with Play! I'm a Django developer and I started using Play! a few days ago. I can't find information on how to register new users to my application. I don't want to use OAuth, I just want to manage users in my own database with passwords encryption. By the way, I'm using Java version.

There is nothing ready yet, however I'd suggest you to use play-authenticate (live demo) as a base.

That's currently the most advanced solution for Play 2 for authentication and authorization. It combines deadbolt-2 for authorization (roles and permissions) + own authentication which makes it very comfortable stack to start with.

Although its base idea is deliver a way for authenticating users with OAuth - the providers are a configurable options, so you can disable it and base on e-mail provider only.

Note important for you it... hasn't build-in user management, however I can ensure you that in current state it requires adding just several actions to create what you need. I'm doing it in few of my projects and soon will send a pull request with that changes.

Edit: By default all providers are enabled with dummy credentials, of course it will fail to run. You need to disable them in conf/play.plugins (by just removing unwanted lines) most probably you have to keep only these lines to keep deadbolt + PA with mailer:

1500:com.typesafe.plugin.CommonsMailerPlugin
10000:be.objectify.deadbolt.DeadboltPlugin
10005:service.PaUserServicePlugin
10040:providers.PaUsernamePasswordAuthProvider

Also don't forget to set proper SMTP credentials in conf/play-authenticate/smtp.conf to make sure that password recovering will work.
