Presentation Information
Security is a complicated subject but securing a web application doesn’t have to be. This presentation will cover an intro to Spring Security 3, a Java EE framework that provides advanced authentication, authorization and other security features for enterprise applications. As time permits, we will work with Spring Security 3 to secure an unsafe web application using Spring Expression Language (SpEL), add a custom login page, implement basic logout functionality, examine securing credential storage by comparing in-memory store vs. database-backed authentication store, and configure a “salted” password encoding Authentication Provider.

Sponsorship is one aspect of the JUG many of our members are aware of, but probably spend little time thinking about. Trust me, those of us on the steering committee think long and hard about this! We are always trying to find ways to enrich our community through new members and, of course, the content and atmosphere of our meetings.
After talking to some of our sponsors, we have expanded and reworked our sponsorship options in preparation for 2011. Please take a look and tell any organizations you think might be interested in helping our community. We greatly appreciate or sponsors, who have made this JUG possible for over five years. You can see some of our current sponsors to the right of this article, where someone’s banner is attractively displayed, interesting, seductive, beckoning you to click on it and see what lies behind…
