HST Spring Security Support

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.SpringSecurityValve for 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!
