What is Acegi Security? |
|
|
|
|
Spring Security 2.0.0 Released |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acegi Security is now {{{http://www.springframework.org/projects/}Spring Security}}, |
|
|
|
|
the official security project of the {{{http://www.springframework.org/projects/}Spring Portfolio}}. |
|
|
|
|
If you are planning a new project, we'd recommend you consider using Spring Security. |
|
|
|
|
Acegi Security 1.0.7 will be the last non-critical release of the 1.0.x series. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spring Security 2.0.0 builds on Acegi Security's solid foundations, adding many new features: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acegi Security is a powerful, flexible security solution for enterprise software, |
|
|
|
|
with a particular emphasis on applications that use |
|
|
|
|
{{{http://www.springframework.org/}Spring}}. Using Acegi Security provides your |
|
|
|
|
applications with comprehensive authentication, authorization, instance-based access control, |
|
|
|
|
channel security and human user detection capabilities. |
|
|
|
|
* Simplified namespace-based configuration syntax. Old configurations |
|
|
|
|
could require hundreds of lines of XML but our new convention over configuration |
|
|
|
|
approach ensures that many deployments will now require less than 10 lines. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Key Features |
|
|
|
|
* OpenID integration, which is the web's emerging single sign on |
|
|
|
|
standard (supported by Google, IBM, Sun, Yahoo and others) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Windows NTLM support, providing easy enterprise-wide single sign on |
|
|
|
|
against Windows corporate networks |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for JSR 250 ("EJB 3") security annotations, delivering a |
|
|
|
|
standards-based model for authorization metadata |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* AspectJ pointcut expression language support, allowing developers to |
|
|
|
|
apply cross-cutting security logic across their Spring managed objects |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Substantial improvements to the high-performance domain object |
|
|
|
|
instance security ("ACL") capabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Comprehensive support for RESTful web request authorization, which |
|
|
|
|
works well with Spring 2.5's @MVC model for building RESTful systems |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Long-requested support for groups, hierarchical roles and a user |
|
|
|
|
management API, which all combine to reduce development time and |
|
|
|
|
significantly improve system administration |
|
|
