GlassFish Security by Masoud Kalali
Secure your GlassFish installation, Web applications, EJB applications, application client modules, and Web Services using Java EE and GlassFish security measures
Security was, is, and will be one of the most important aspects of Enterprise Applications and one of the most challenging areas for architects, developers, and administrators. It is mandatory for Java EE application developers to secure their enterprise applications using Glassfish security features.
Learn to secure Java EE artifacts (like Servlets and EJB methods), configure and use GlassFish JAAS modules, and establish environment and network security using this practical guide, filled with examples. One of the things you will love about this book is that it covers the advantages of protecting application servers and Web service providers using OpenSSO.
Inspired from real development cases, this practical guide shows you how to secure a GlassFish installation and how to develop applications with secure authentication based on GlassFish, Java EE, and OpenSSO capabilities.
