Part 2: Authentication Techniques

In this part, we explore various authentication methods and services provided by Spring Security. First, we delve into authenticating users against a database using Spring Security’s JDBC support. Additionally, we discuss securing passwords with Spring Security’s cryptography module to enhance security.

Moving on, we will explore the integration of Spring Data with Spring Security, utilizing JPA to authenticate against relational databases and MongoDB for document databases.

Next, we will introduce the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and its integration with Spring Security. We explore how LDAP can provide authentication, authorization, and user information services within a Spring Security-enabled application.

Then, we uncover the functionality of the remember-me feature in Spring Security and its configuration. Additionally, we address considerations when implementing the remember-me functionality, enabling applications...
