Learning Path: Spring: Secure Your Apps with Spring Security

Knowing that experienced hackers are itching to test your skills makes security one of the most difficult and high-pressure concerns of creating an application. That’s where Spring Security comes into the picture to simplify things for developers. Spring security can be used for authentication and authorization purposes in your application. It provides integration with LDAP as well. So, if you’re a Java developer and want to gain skills to secure your applications from hackers, then go for this Learning Path.

Packt’s Video Learning Path is a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

The highlights of this Learning Path are:

●        Explore Spring Security, its architecture and components

This Learning Path demonstrates how to smoothly integrate Spring Security into your application using the latest technologies and frameworks with the help of detailed examples. You’ll first go through a security audit of an insecure application wherein you’ll learn to modify the sample application to resolve the issues found in the audit. Throughout working on this application, you’ll learn to integrate a variety of authentication mechanisms and demonstrate how to properly restrict access to your application. Next, you’ll learn how to utilize session management for administrative functions. As this Learning Path progresses, you’ll be introduced to LDAP and  learn to develop a Spring Security application integrated with Active Directory Lightweight DS and Apache DS. You’ll also be introduced to SAML and its integration with Spring Security. Finally, you’ll learn to integrate JAAS with Spring Security.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will be able to easily secure your applications by LDAP integration and SAML extension.
