Introduction to security

The ADF security framework provides authentication and authorization for web applications. This security framework is built on top of Java Authentication and Authorization Services (JAAS). Security can be applied to objects, task flows, page fragments, and the page, by giving permissions and grants. The framework also supports the enforcing of policies and grants for the application to tighten security for the web application.

Basic security

Security using ADF is set up for the entire application and implementing it is in fact very easy. The ADF security wizard will be used to provide the security for the entire application. Later, the application can be tuned, and policies and grants can be introduced to increase the level of security for the application.
