Open Source Java Frameworks

Welcome to the home of the Apereo Central Authentication Service project, more commonly referred to as CAS. CAS is an enterprise multilingual single sign-on solution and identity provider for the web and attempts to be a comprehensive platform for your authentication and authorization needs. CAS is an open and well-documented authentication protocol. The primary implementation of the protocol is an open-source Java server component by the same name hosted here, with support for a plethora of additional authentication protocols and features. Monitor and track application and system behavior, statistics and metrics in real-time. Manage and review audits and logs centrally, and publish data to a variety of downstream systems. Manage and register client applications and services with specific authentication policies. Cross-platform client support (Java, .NET, PHP, Perl, Apache, etc).

Spring Security is a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. It is the de-facto standard for securing Spring-based applications. Spring Security is a framework that focuses on providing both authentication and authorization to Java applications. Like all Spring projects, the real power of Spring Security is found in how easily it can be extended to meet custom requirements. Spring Security uses a Gradle-based build system. In the instructions, ./gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. Be sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the jdk-11 folder extracted from the JDK download.
