In order to resolve these issues the youth s...

In order to get the complete control of undergoing process in any software application, wrappers plays a vital role.Most of the big framework like Spring, Hibernate and Jdbc have this kind of wrappers.In general you can say wrappers are the outer layer of the main object.In Spring security(Formly known as acegi security) we have request wrappers through this request wrapper acegi security decides that each incomming request has authenticate header or not? How Spring security framework does this ? this is a very simple process. Each and every HttpRequest has to pass some filters configured on some external xml files. These filters inject some information in Httprequest headers, and instead of using the main Request facade spring security uses the wrappers of the request and application will not operate untill and unless request contains the authentication tokens, In this way wrappers are providing security through out the Lifecycle of Request. A part of the web application there are s...

These days i am working with some identity management technologies for secure roles and policy based authentication.I came across one almost closed project OpenSSO which is no doubt excellent.I am telling it closed because it is a open source software initiated by Sun Microsystem and inspired by Sun Access Manager.After the Sun-Oracle merger the oracle has decided to close this project and stopped all the support that Sun was providing earlier.Well the you can use this OpenSSO server for your all applicaiton server ,No matters it is tomcat,Jetty ,JBoss or any other application server.You can achieve single sign on by two ways either use the policy agent and deploy it in your applicaiton server or use the OpenSSOClientSdk . Different policy agents are available for different servers. I choosed the openssoclientsdk for my java web applicaiton.I am using tomcat 6.0 and openSSO 8.0 enterprise edition.I have integrated the spring security and the openSSO through opensso client sdk .Aft...

I like Hyderabad due to various reasons, this is a city where I always wanted to be, even when Information Technology and scicence of computers were completely unknown to me I used to think that every great think of IT in India happens here at Hyderabad. BTW thats not true at all. We have multiple other cities in India which are better than Hyderabad but still I like this place. What I like about Hyderabad People : Decent, simple and good people, who dont mind helping you if they can. Food : All kind of food available here, Lots of similarities in culture of Chhattisgarh and Andhrapradesh. Food habits are also almost same. I faced little or no difficulty here. Weather : It should rain little more here but I am OK.  Distance: 1 hr in flight to reach to me home state (then I have to take bus and its 12 hrs after that).

Identity management: deals with the creation, communication, recognition, and usage of identity in the enterprise. Identity management includes provisioning services, directories, multi-factor authentication, federation, and so on. All access control is predicated on identity, a central concern to security architecture, the quality of the system’s authentication and authorization cannot be stronger than the identity management process. Identity management architecture is important to identify points of leverage across projects, because identity management components are often not able to support a business case individually. Strategically the enterprise should align investment, architecture, and implementation in the identity space to increase the quality, reusability, and strength of identity. The net benefit is to improve the authentication, authorization, and auditing services for the system as a whole. The utility of the identity management architecture comes through ma...

I am going to write a brief valuable post for the developers who are interested in Identity and infrastructure management and single sign on mechanisms.
