Hi All I have a Java application that connects to Services on a remote server using Springs http invoker. The client and server run on different machines.
I am looking for a security solution. I have looked all over the internet and looked at the pet store example. I keep running into a mass amount of configuration. For example in the pet store demo. <bean id="methodSecurityInterceptor" class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.method.aopalliance.MethodSecurityInterceptor"> <property name="authenticationManager"><ref bean="authenticationManager"/></property> <property name="accessDecisionManager"> <bean class="org.acegisecurity.vote.AffirmativeBased"> <property name="allowIfAllAbstainDecisions" value="false"/> <property name="decisionVoters"> <list> <bean class="org.acegisecurity.vote.RoleVoter"/> <bean class="org.acegisecurity.vote.AuthenticatedVoter"/> </list> </property> </bean> </property> <property name="objectDefinitionSource"> <value> org.springframework.samples.petclinic.Clinic.*=IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED org.springframework.samples.petclinic.Clinic.storeVisit=ROLE_SUPERVISOR </value> </property> </bean> No offense but this is just CRAP! I dont want Voters and that kind of rubbish. I want the client (Java application) to connect to the server passing on the username and password and then I want the server to look up the username and password in the database and authenticate the user. I know alot of people have been looking for this solution but I'm getting the impression that no one can solve this. Does anybody have a simple sollution for this?
