(Re)introducing Spring Security
Friday - May 2 3:15 PM EDT - MELROSE
Spring Security has long been a powerful guard to place around your Spring applications, providing authentication, authorization, and many more concerns around keeping your application secure.
As time has progressed, Spring Security has evolved to provide even more capabilities, but has applied some self-improvement to make working with Spring Security even easier. That is to say, the way you configure and apply Spring Security today has changed dramatically from it's early XML-oriented approach and is even different now than some of the more recent Java-based configuration strategies.
In this example-driven session, we'll explore the latest and greatest that Spring Security has to offer, with an emphasis on how to apply security aspects to your applications with the latest configuration styles supported by Spring Security. You'll see how security is enabled in modern Spring applications using the Lambda DSL configuration approach, the preferred way to configure Spring Security and the ONLY way to configure Spring Security 7.
