  • Usual backups at site
  • imported the new visibility site and fixed a javascript error in IE, also added contact page content
  • Talked to Tangie, apparently the two individuals having connection problems to our site contacted their local admins who could connect just fine.  So they are now working with those admins to resolve the problems.  So it’s out of our hands.
  • Watched an interesting presentation about Spring Security (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Spring-Security-3).  It’s rather long but does give a good basic introduction of what can be done:
    • Users, roles, and rights
    • Method level, annotation- based restrictions based on rights (based on rights is the best way to do it but you could base your rules on anything really)
    • Restricting urls to authenticated users
    • Restricting parts of the UI based on permissions
  • Trying out some of the examples
