Refer to this definitive and authoritative book to understand the Jakarta EE Security Spec, with Jakarta Authentication & Authorization as its underlying official foundation. Jakarta EE Security implementations are discussed, such as Soteria and Open Liberty, along with the build-in modules and Jakarta EE Security third-party modules, such as Payara Yubikey & OIDC, and OmniFaces JWT-Auth. The book discusses Jakarta EE Security in relation to SE underpinnings and provides a detailed explanation of how client-cert authentication over HTTPS takes place, how certifications work, and how LDAP-like names are mapped to caller/user names. General (web) security best practices are presented, such as not storing passwords in plaintext, using HTTPS, sanitizing inputs to DB queries, encoding output, and explanations of various (web) attacks and common vulnerabilities are included. Practical examples of securing applications discuss common needs such as letting users explicitly log in, sign up, verify email safely, explicitly log in to access protected pages, and go direct to the log in page. Common issues are covered such as abandoning an authentication dialog halfway and later accessing protected pages again. What You Will Learn

He has been involved with Jakarta EE Security since 2010, has created a set of tests that most well-known vendors use (IBM, Oracle, Red Hat) to improve their offerings, was part of the JSR 375 (EE Security) EG, and has been the main architect of the security API and its initial RI implementation Soteria. Arjan has also written and certified the MicroProfile JWT implementation for Payara. He was mentored by Sun's (later Oracle's) security expert Ron Monzillo. He wrote a large series of blog posts about EE Security that have attracted a lot of views. Werner Keil is a cloud architect, Eclipse RCP, and a microservice expert for a large bank.

Werner is currently the Community representative in the Jakarta EE Specification Committee. He was among the first five Jakarta EE Ambassadors when it was founded as Java EE Guardians, and is a member of its Leadership Council. Teo Bais is a Software Development Manager, Scrum Master, and Programmer who contributes to the prosperity of the (software) community in several ways. He is the founder and leader of Utrecht Java User Group, which counts over 2600 members and has hosted over 45 events and amazing speakers (among others, James Gosling, Uncle Bob, and over 20 Java Champions), and is running 3 programs: Devoxx4kids, Speaker Incubator and uJCP.
