Authentication with Spring Data

In the previous chapter, we covered how to leverage Spring Security's built-in JDBC support. In this chapter, we will look at the Spring Data project, and how to leverage JPA to perform authentication against a relational database. We will also explore how to perform authentication against a document database using MongoDB. This chapter's sample code is based on the Spring Security setup from Chapter 4, JDBC-Based Authentication, and has been updated to refactor out the need for SQL and to use ORM for all database interactions.

During the course of this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Some of the basic concepts related to the Spring Data project
Utilizing Spring Data JPA to authenticate against a relational database
Utilizing Spring Data MongoDB to authenticate against a document database
How to customize Spring Security...
