Dan, your tutorials are well structured and explains the concept very clearly. Thank you and appreciate your effort.
With Spring 3.0.x Spring security has changed with many methods getting deprecated. I request you to kindly explain the correct way to do LDAP authentication and return JWT using spring security 3.0
Thank you.

Hi Dan. always great content, thanks a lot!

This video is great, I find easy to understand how to move from the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter to the lambda DSL with the example given. And that for Spring Boot to pick the changes up it has to find it in a @Bean

[faycalguennoun]

simple a good tutorial, it helps me understand the confusion of spring security > 2.7, thanks

Dan I can't express how good your tutorials are, love the structure, goal-setting and the on-point explaining without any gibber-gabber, One question is: will you update your course on Udemy to reflect the deprecations in the newer versions of Spring?
so far Spring security is a very important subject, many do touch on it but there is no good structured course out there for this specific topic.
Thanks again.

Great video as always! Keep up the good work and it will be awesome to see more videos on this topic.
Since nowadays most apps are REST API's with SPA framework and JWT flows are used - it will be great if Spring Team implements this flow (REST API, Role based Authentication/Authorization against the Database - with bcrypted password, etc) out of the box.
Do the new Spring Security changes simplify this flow in any way? Because right now to implement such flow there is a lot of boilerplate code which would be better if it is implemented and can be used from Spring Security!

Thanks for the video! After spending hours as I am new to JAVA and especially security side of things, your video helped me bypass the CORS issue. Being new to JAVA how to keep track or update myself in the best practices in JAVA? any recommendations is appreciated!

Great video Dan. Concise and to the point.

I have a quick question about the deprecation - the blog post says WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter has been deprecated, as we encourage users to move towards a component-based security configuration.

My question is why? What advantage would that give us as a developer which we couldn't have with WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter?

Hope to hear from you soon and once again - thank you very much for taking the time to make this video
