Securing a Web Application in NetBeans IDE 6.5

Hi all,

Today I'd like to continue a blog series in which I highlight Web application tutorials for NetBeans 6.5. A few changes have been made to tutorials, so be sure to check them out again.

This thirteenth entry in the series will cover the tutorial, "Securing a Web Application in NetBeans IDE 6.5".

This document takes you through the basics of adding security to a web application that is deployed to either the Tomcat server or the Sun Java System Application Server.

This document shows you how to configure security authentication using a basic login window and also using a login form in a web page. This document takes you through the steps for creating users on the Tomcat server and Sun Java System Application Server (GlassFish). After creating the users, you then create the security roles by setting the security properties in the deployment descriptor. This document also shows how you can use JDBC authentication to secure your application when deploying to the Sun Java System Application Server (GlassFish).

This is worth the while. Enjoy (and learn)!

Cheers!

--James
