When v1.6 of Apache Isis was released a month or two back we also announced the creation of a new “add-ons” website as a place to hold reusable module of code for any Apache Isis app.

Working with Jeroen I recently completed a new security module that handles both authentication and authorization for Isis apps.

The screencast below explains how to get it configured; check out the module’s README for screenshots and more detailed discussion.

This module should work with any Isis app, and can also co-exist alongside other authentication realms such as LDAP. We’re really happy with what we’ve ended up with, so do try it out.
