Overview of this book

Knowing that experienced hackers are itching to test your skills makes security one of the most difficult and high-pressured concerns of creating an application. The complexity of properly securing an application is compounded when you must also integrate this factor with existing code, new technologies, and other frameworks. Use this book to easily secure your Java application with the tried and trusted Spring Security framework, a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. The book starts by integrating a variety of authentication mechanisms. It then demonstrates how to properly restrict access to your application. It also covers tips on integrating with some of the more popular web frameworks. An example of how Spring Security defends against session fixation, moves into concurrency control, and how you can utilize session management for administrative functions is also included. It concludes with advanced security scenarios for RESTful webservices and microservices, detailing the issues surrounding stateless authentication, and demonstrates a concise, step-by-step approach to solving those issues. And, by the end of the book, readers can rest assured that integrating version 4.2 of Spring Security will be a seamless endeavor from start to finish.

Other benefits of concurrent session control

Another benefit of concurrent session control is that SessionRegistry exists to track active (and, optionally, expired) sessions. This means that we can get runtime information about what user activity exists in our system (for authenticated users, at least) by performing the following steps:

  1. You can even do this if you don't want to enable concurrent session control. Simply set maximumSessions to -1, and session tracking will remain enabled, even though no maximum will be enforced. Instead, we will use the explicit bean configuration provided in the SessionConfig.java file of this chapter, as follows:
        //src/main/java/com/packtpub/springsecurity/configuration/
SessionConfig.java

@Bean
public SessionRegistry sessionRegistry(){
return new SessionRegistryImpl();
}
