<para>Many independent software vendors (ISVs) adopt Spring Security
because of this rich choice of authentication models. Doing so allows
them to quickly integrate their solutions with whatever their end
clients need, without undertaking a lot of engineering or requiring
the client to change their environment. If none of the above
authentication mechanisms suit your needs, Spring Security is an open
platform and it is quite simple to write your own authentication
mechanism. Many corporate users of Spring Security need to integrate
with "legacy" systems that don't follow any particular security
