SIGNED JAR FILES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We strongly recommend that you verify the integrity of the JAR files included
in this release. You can do so using the following command:
"jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs jar_file_name"
Of course, replace the jar_file_name with "dist/acegi-security.jar" or the
appropriate path to the Acegi Security JAR to be validated.
Until further notice, all Acegi Security official releases are signed by:
X.509, EMAILADDRESS=ben.alex@acegi.com.au, CN=Benjamin Peter Alex, GIVENNAME=Benjamin Peter, SURNAME=Alex
X.509, CN=Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA, O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd., C=ZA -->
If the above certificate was not used, or the JAR was not validated, DO NOT
USE THE JAR. Please email the acegisecurity-developers list (contact details
are provided below) for further assistance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUILDING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acegi Security is built using Maven. Please check building instructions at
http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK START
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy samples/contact/dist/contacts.war into your container webapps directory.
Then visit http://localhost:8080/contacts/ and click "Manage". The Acegi
Security System for Spring secures this small application by protecting both
the method invocations of business objects, and also the HTTP URLs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDING ACEGI SECURITY TO YOUR OWN APPLICATION

Take a look in samples/quick-start. There we give you the fragments to add to
your existing web.xml and applicationContext.xml, along with a couple of files
that need to be added to your WAR file.
