Topic: Web Security Success with Spring Security 2
Speaker: Ben Alex
Most enterprise applications are multi-user systems dealing with
business-critical corporate data. Such applications generally require a
security approach that addresses user identification and their
permissions.
Spring Security 2 (formerly known as Acegi Security) is the Spring
Portfolio's security module, and is widely used in security-critical
environments such as banking, finance, defense and government
departments. Spring Security frees application developers from the
time-consuming and complex work of securing their applications, with
out-of-the-box capabilities including authentication, authorization,
domain object access control, human user detection, channel switching
and so on. As such, Spring Security significantly reduces the cost and
risk of securing enterprise applications, while also providing a robust,
production-proven solution that is extremely flexible to current and
future requirements.
This session is aimed at introducing Spring Security to those not
already using it, or those wishing to gain a wider appreciation of what
it can do in typical enterprise applications. Ben demonstrates adding
Spring Security to an existing web application. This shows you to
configure and deploy Spring Security. He'll also briefly discuss the
features most commonly used in web application deployment scenarios,
single sign on, channel security enforcement (HTTP vs HTTPS), custom
method authorization security, Ajax integration, and other
considerations of web application security.
This presentation will feature a lot of live demos and code, so sit back
and enjoy!
