Grails Spring Security Plugins

In this talk we'll look at the Spring Security Core plugin and its dependent plugins. The core plugin provides all of the standard functionality you expect from a security plugin (URL security, users, roles, form-based authentication, etc.) and extension plugins add extra functionality such as OpenID support, LDAP authentication, object and method security with ACLs, and more.

We'll look at the various plugins and create some sample applications to see how easy it is to secure a Grails application with Spring Security.
