The Java™ platform, both its base language features and library extensions, provides an excellent base for writing secure applications. In this tutorial, Part 2 of 2, Brad Rubin introduces the basic concepts of authentication and authorization and provides an architectural overview of JAAS. Through the use of a sample application, he'll guide your understanding of JAAS from theory to practice. By the end of the tutorial you will have a good foundation for working with JAAS on your own.
