= Authentication
|
|
|
|
Spring Security provides comprehensive support for xref:features/authentication/index.adoc#authentication[Authentication].
|
|
We start by discussing the overall xref:servlet/authentication/architecture.adoc[Servlet Authentication Architecture].
|
|
As you might expect, this section is more abstract describing the architecture without much discussion on how it applies to concrete flows.
|
|
|
|
If you prefer, you can refer to <<servlet-authentication-mechanisms,Authentication Mechanisms>> for concrete ways in which users can authenticate.
|
|
These sections focus on specific ways you may want to authenticate and point back at the architecture sections to describe how the specific flows work.
