This is the Maven generated site for the Acegi-Security project. It is generated as part of an

automated daily build. We intend to expand the information on Acegi which is available here but for
|
||||
the moment, your best starting point for documentation is Ben Alex's
|

original <a href="./reference/index.html">reference guide</a>
|

which provides a comprehensive overview.

<a href="./start/build.html">build</a> section of the getting started guide.

The main other area of interest at the moment is the <a href="./maven-reports.html">generated reports</a> section.

<BR>
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI><B>It is ready NOW.</B> As explained in the reference guide, the API
|
||||
is now quite stable. We also use the <A
|
||||
href="http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html">Apache APR Project
|
||||
Versioning Guidelines</A> so you can identify backward
|
||||
compatibility.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Easy to use:</B> View our samples/quick-start directory for XML
|
||||
you can simply copy and paste into applicationContext.xml and web.xml.
|
||||
From there it's easy to customise Acegi Security to your unique security
|
||||
needs.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Enterprise-wide single sign on:</B> Using Yale University's open
|
||||
source <A href="http://www.yale.edu/tp/auth/">Central Authentication
|
||||
Service</A> (CAS), the Acegi Security System for Spring can participate
|
||||
in an enterprise-wide single sign on environment. You no longer need
|
||||
every web application to have its own authentication database. Nor are
|
||||
you restricted to single sign on across a single web container. Advanced
|
||||
single sign on features like proxy support and forced refresh of logins
|
||||
are supported by both CAS and Acegi Security.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Reuses your Spring expertise:</B> We use Spring application
|
||||
contexts for all configuration, which should help Spring developers get
|
||||
up-to-speed nice and quickly.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Domain object instance security:</B> In many applications it's
|
||||
desirable to define Access Control Lists (ACLs) for individual domain
|
||||
object instances. We provide a comprehensive ACL package with features
|
||||
including integer bit masking, permission inheritence (including
|
||||
blocking), a JDBC-backed ACL repository, caching and a pluggable,
|
||||
interface-driven design.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Non-intrusive setup:</B> The entire security system can operate
|
||||
within a single web application using the provided filters. There is no
|
||||
need to make special changes or deploy libraries to your Servlet or EJB
|
||||
container.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Full (but optional) container integration:</B> The credential
|
||||
collection and authorization capabilities of your Servlet or EJB
|
||||
container can be fully utilised via included "container adapters". We
|
||||
currently support Catalina (Tomcat), Jetty, JBoss and Resin, with
|
||||
additional containers easily added.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Keeps your objects free of security code:</B> Many applications
|
||||
need to secure data at the bean level based on any combination of
|
||||
parameters (user, time of day, authorities held, method being invoked,
|
||||
parameter on method being invoked....). This package gives you this
|
||||
flexibility without adding security code to your Spring business
|
||||
objects.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Secures your HTTP requests as well:</B> In addition to securing
|
||||
your beans, the project also secures your HTTP requests. No longer is it
|
||||
necessary to rely on web.xml security constraints. Best of all, your
|
||||
HTTP requests can now be secured by your choice of regular expressions
|
||||
or Apache Ant paths, along with pluggable authentication, authorization
|
||||
and run-as replacement managers.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Channel security:</B> The Acegi Security System for Spring can
|
||||
automatically redirect requests across an appropriate transport channel.
|
||||
Whilst flexible enough to support any of your "channel" requirements (eg
|
||||
the remote user is a human, not a robot), a common channel security
|
||||
feature is to ensure your secure pages will only be available over
|
||||
HTTPS, and your public pages only over HTTP. Acegi Security also
|
||||
supports unusual port combinations and pluggable transport decision
|
||||
managers.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Supports HTTP BASIC authentication:</B> Perfect for remoting
|
||||
protocols or those web applications that prefer a simple browser pop-up
|
||||
(rather than a form login), Acegi Security can directly process HTTP
|
||||
BASIC authentication requests as per RFC 1945.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Convenient security taglib:</B> Your JSP files can use our taglib
|
||||
to ensure that protected content like links and messages are only
|
||||
displayed to users holding the appropriate granted authorities.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Application context or attribute-based configuration:</B> You
|
||||
select the method used to configure your security environment. The
|
||||
project supports configuration via Spring application contexts as well
|
||||
as Jakarta Commons Attributes.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Various authentication backends:</B> We include the ability to
|
||||
retrieve your user and granted authority definitions from either an XML
|
||||
file or JDBC datasource. Alternatively, you can implement the
|
||||
single-method DAO interface and obtain authentication details from
|
||||
anywhere you like.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Event support:</B> Building upon Spring's
|
||||
<CODE>ApplicationEvent</CODE> services, you can write your own listeners
|
||||
for login, invalid password and account disabled events. This enables
|
||||
you to implement account lockout and audit log systems, with complete
|
||||
decoupling from Acegi Security code.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Easy integration with existing databases:</B> Our implementations
|
||||
have been designed to make it very easy to use your existing
|
||||
authentication schema and data (without modification).<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Caching:</B> Use our <A
|
||||
href="http://ehcache.sourceforge.net/">EHCACHE</A> wrapper to cache your
|
||||
authentication information, or plug in your own cache implementation.
|
||||
This flexibility means your database (or other authentication
|
||||
repository) is not repeatedly queried for authentication
|
||||
information.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Pluggable architecture:</B> Every critical aspect of the package
|
||||
has been modelled using high cohesion, loose coupling, interface-driven
|
||||
design principles. You can easily replace, customise or extend parts of
|
||||
the package.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Startup-time validation:</B> Every critical object dependency and
|
||||
configuration parameter is validated at application context startup
|
||||
time. Security configuration errors are therefore detected early and
|
||||
corrected quickly.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Remoting support:</B> Does your project use a rich client? Not a
|
||||
problem. Acegi Security integrates with standard Spring remoting
|
||||
protocols, because it automatically processes the HTTP BASIC
|
||||
authentication headers they present. Add our BASIC authentication filter
|
||||
to your web.xml and you're done.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Advanced password encoding:</B> Of course, passwords in your
|
||||
authentication repository need not be in plain text. We support both SHA
|
||||
and MD5 encoding, and also pluggable "salt" providers to maximise
|
||||
password security.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Run-as replacement:</B> The security system fully supports
|
||||
temporarily replacing the authenticated user for the duration of the web
|
||||
request or bean invocation. This enables you to build public-facing
|
||||
object tiers with different security configurations than your backend
|
||||
objects.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Unit tests:</B> A must-have of any quality security project, unit
|
||||
tests are included. Clover coverage is currently 98.3%.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Container integration tests:</B> To ensure the security project
|
||||
properly operates with major container versions, we provide an
|
||||
integration test system that deploys those containers from scratch and
|
||||
fully tests our sample web application from the perspective of a HTTP
|
||||
client.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Supports your own unit tests:</B> We provide a number of classes
|
||||
that assist with your own unit testing of secured business objects. For
|
||||
example, you can change the authentication identity and its associated
|
||||
granted authorities directly within your test methods.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Peer reviewed:</B> Whilst nothing is ever completely secure,
|
||||
using an open source security package leverages the continuous design
|
||||
and code quality improvements that emerge from peer review.<BR><BR>
|
||||
<LI><B>Thorough documentation:</B> All APIs are fully documented using
|
||||
JavaDoc, with a 40+ page reference guide providing an easy-to-follow
|
||||
introduction.<BR><BR>
