Treffer: Spring Security 3.x Cookbook : Secure Your Java Applications Against Online Threats by Learning the Powerful Mechanisms of Spring Security. Presented As a Cookbook Full of Recipes, This Book Covers a Wide Range of Vulnerabilities and Scenarios.

Secure your Java applications against online threats by learning the powerful mechanisms of Spring Security. Presented as a cookbook full of recipes, this book covers a wide range of vulnerabilities and scenarios.Key FeaturesLearn about all the mandatory security measures for modern day applications using Spring SecurityInvestigate different approaches to application level authentication and authorizationMaster how to mount security on applications used by developers and organizationsBook DescriptionWeb applications are exposed to a variety of threats and vulnerabilities at the authentication, authorization, service, and domain object levels. Spring Security can help secure these applications against those threats. Spring Security is a popular application security solution for Java applications. It is widely used to secure standalone web applications, portlets, and increasingly REST applications. It is a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. It is the de-facto standard for securing Spring-based applications and it is currently used to secure numerous demanding environments including government agencies, military applications, and central banks.'Spring Security 3.x Cookbook'is a repository of recipes to help you successfully secure web applications against threats and vulnerabilities at the authentication and session level layers using the Spring Security framework. We will not only explore Spring-based web applications, but also Java-based and Grails-based applications that can use Spring Security as their security framework. Apart from conventional web applications, we will also look at securing portlets, RESTful web service applications, and other non-web applications. This book will also take you through how to integrate Spring Security with other popular web frameworks/technologies such as Vaadin, EJB, and GWT. In addition to testing and debugging the implemented security measures, this book will also delve into finer aspects of Spring Security implementation such as how it deals with concurrency, multitenancy, and customization, and we will even show you how to disable it. This book gives you an overview of Spring Security and its implementation with various frameworks. It starts with container-based authentication before taking you on a tour of the main features of Spring Security. It demonstrates security concepts like BASIC, FORM, and DIGEST authentication and shows you how to integrate the Spring Security framework with various frameworks like JSF, struts2, Vaadin, and more. The book also demonstrates how to utilize container managed security without JAAS. Then, we move on to setting up a struts2 application before showing you how to integrate Spring Security with other frameworks like JSF, Groovy, Wicket, GWT, and Vaadin respectively. This book will serve as a highly practical guide and will give you confidence when it comes to applying security to your applications. It's packed with simple examples which show off each concept of Spring Security and which help you learn how it can be integrated with various frameworks.What you will learnImplement Form-based, HTTP Basic, Client, and Digest authenticationsBring in Groovy on Grails with Form-based Spring SecurityIntegrate Spring Security with VaadinCombine Spring Security with ORM and NoSQLDBUse Spring Security in Spring-Social (Facebook and Twitter)Learn about Spring Security for SOAPAuthenticate RESTful services with Spring SecurityWho this book is forThis book is for all Spring-based application developers as well as Java web developers who wish to implement robust security mechanisms into web application development using Spring Security.
