Bastion » A blog about J2EE Security, WebLogic, authentication, authorization, auditing, and PKI According to the Java Servlet Specification, there are four standard methods of authentication in web applications: FORM, BASIC, DIGEST, and CLIENT-CERT.

Authentication and Authorization Authentication is any process by which you verify that someone is who they claim they are. Authorization is any process by which someone is allowed to be where they want to go, or to have information that they want to have. For general access control, see the Access Control How-To. GitHub API OAuth2 is a protocol that lets external applications request authorization to private details in a user's GitHub account without getting their password. This is preferred over Basic Authentication because tokens can be limited to specific types of data, and can be revoked by users at any time. All developers need to register their application before getting started. A registered OAuth application is assigned a unique Client ID and Client Secret. The Client Secret should not be shared.
