The Spring Security Framework in PAS for OpenEdge

The Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge employs the Spring Security framework to provide enterprise-level application security with regard to:
*Authentication — verification that username and password combinations are valid.
*Authorization — enforcing access control (user accounts are granted permissions according to their assigned roles).
Spring Security is a Java-based framework provided in the /common/lib directory of the core PAS server. For general information about Spring Security, see http://www.springsource.org. For reference and API information, see http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/reference.html
