I'm on 1.2.4, but the plugin code in SpringSecurityCoreGrailsPlugin.groovy:538 is referencing the filterChain in your securityConfig (which should now be in your Config.groovy file - unlike the Acegi plugin). As suggested look in the plugin source code. You'll find it in: ~/.grails/1.3.7/projects/{yourproject}/plugins
This plugin is an awesome, if somewhat complicated beast - get the basics down with the tutorial: Spring Security Plugin Tutorial Then read the docs carefully, it will save you a ton of time.
