Security with Spring
Last modified: October 6, 2020
The Security with Spring tutorials focus, as you'd expect, on Spring Security.
Get started with the Registration series if you're interested in building a registration flow, and understanding some of the frameworks basics.
Then, explore authentication and other Spring Security internals in-depth.
Finally, have a look at some of the more advanced topics, such as the OAuth support.
Core Spring Security
OAuth2 with Spring Security
Thank you for the great tutorials Eugen, they really help me understand these topics better. I wonder if you consider putting a Spring Security tutorial for using custom roles? For example, instead of USER & ADMIN, what if I wanted a hierarchical approach with customer roles like this (top-down): ADMIN, OWNER, MANAGER, RECEPTIONIST, VISITOR.
I have seen old Spring Security code snippets about custom role names. But I have yet to see one that shows from configuration, to database seeding, to authentication.
Thanks again for the great help you provide.
Hey Sonoerin – yes, a more complex Role-Privilege model is actually implemented in my REST project on github. Thanks for the suggestion, I might write about that sometime soon. Cheers,
Eugen.
nice tutorial Eugen..but i wonder perhpas u got project on github about dynamic url for spring security..
how to create user management UI ?
Hey Joxers,
That’s something I do have on my TODO list to write about, but it may be further out, perhaps a couple of months. Cheers,
Eugen.
Hello Eugen, Will you be doing any OAuth2 integration tutorials where you secure your REST API using an OAuth2 authorization server. That would be amazing. Great work so far!
Hey Cal – actually, I did touch on that here. Hope it helps. Cheers,
Eugen.
Thanks Eugen, I completely missed that. What about writing a OAuth2 Authorization server 😛
Not yet 🙂
any update on this? 🙂
Yes – here it is. Hope it helps. Cheers,
Eugen.
Hi Eugen, I’m working with your Packt video course Spring Security. I like the way you teach. I watched most of videos and now I would like to run some examples. For some reason I can’t run any of them. Im out of ideas whay may be wrong . Could you please look at the stack and maybe give me some advice? 2015-10-14 09:43:59,693 [localhost-startStop-1] INFO o.s.w.c.s.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext – Found 1 annotated classes in package [com.packt.springsecurity.backend.spring] 2015-10-14 09:43:59,775 [localhost-startStop-1] INFO o.s.c.a.ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner – JSR-250 ‘javax.annotation.ManagedBean’ found and supported for component scanning 2015-10-14 09:43:59,785 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR o.s.web.context.ContextLoader – Context initialization failed java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null… Read more »
Hey Pawel – glad you’re learning from the course. Two quick notes here. First – can you please open up an issue over on the Github project for the course – and add the full stack trace. That’s going to help me really see what the issue is. Second – can you edit your previous comment and remove the code? It makes the comment very heavyweight but because it’s not the full stack – it doesn’t help to much. Cheers,
Eugen.
