= Authentication
|
|
|
|
Spring Security provides comprehensive support for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authentication[authentication].
|
|
Authentication is how we verify the identity of who is trying to access a particular resource.
|
|
A common way to authenticate users is by requiring the user to enter a username and password.
|
|
Once authentication is performed we know the identity and can perform authorization.
