The sample to retrieve authorities in Spring Security should be changed to not rely on a specific implementation of principal as principal can be of any type, see https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/api/org/springframework/security/core/Authentication.html#getPrincipal()

A better approach is to get the authorites directly from the authentication object, similar to the username in the line above.
