Spring Security is a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework.
HST Spring Security Support project provides seamless integration with Spring Security for HST-2 based applications.
Mainly, HST Spring Security Support project provides the following:
- An Authentication Provider which allows authentication against users and groups stored in the Hippo Repository.
See the Javadoc of
org.onehippo.forge.security.support.springsecurity.authentication.HippoAuthenticationProvider. for details. - A Spring Security Valve in order to translate Spring Security Authentication to an HST-2 aware Subject.
See the Javadoc of
org.onehippo.forge.security.support.springsecurity.container.SpringSecurityValvefor details.
Because Spring Security provides a lot of out-of-box security integration solutions such as HTTP Basic/Digest authentication, LDAP, Form-based, Open ID, JA-SIG CAS authentication, you can take advantage of those with HST-2!
