This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Spring 6: Spring Security. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
This comprehensive Spring Security course provides an in-depth exploration of security implementation in Java applications, covering critical topics from core authentication concepts to advanced security techniques. Learn to implement various authentication methods including in-memory, JDBC, and LDAP authentication, master password hashing with bcrypt, develop form-based and OAuth2 authentication strategies, and secure WebFlux-based systems. The course progresses through practical implementations of controller method authorizations, login page configurations, and advanced security frameworks, equipping you with the skills to protect web applications using Spring Security's robust toolset across different architectural approaches.
See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
