In this section, we will discuss how to protect a REST resource by implementing the security API using Kotlin. We created a resource to create and read an organization as an identity data in the previous chapter. In this chapter, we will add a security layer to this RESTful service by implementing custom HttpAuthenticationMechanism and IdentityStore mechanisms.
We will add the following security-related dependencies to the existing dependencies:
<dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.soteria</groupId> <artifactId>javax.security.enterprise</artifactId> <version>${org.glassfish.soteria}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId> <version>${javax.servlet-api}</version> ...
