The Securing Web Applications using Spring Security training course introduces Java developer to the Spring Security framework. While this is a security-oriented course, it does not teach students the foundational security knowledge required to successfully adopt the Spring Security framework. Rather, it assumes the students have experience with core security concepts and are looking to learn how to adopt Spring Security within their context of their application.
The first half of Securing Web Applications using Spring Security begins with an overview of the Spring Security framework. With the foundational knowledge laid, the course quickly moves into practical use of the framework by examining XML configuration for authentication and URL-based authorization. From there, the course examines Spring Security as a Java model, and advanced techniques including custom user realms, custom authorization constraints, method-based authorization, and instance-based authorization. By the end of the Spring Security Training course, you will be able to use Spring security to implement authentication and role-based authorization policies for your own Java web application.
