Welcome to the jGuard's wiki

What is jGuard ?

jGuard is a library that provides EASY security (authentication and authorization) for Java web applications.

It is built over the stable and mature JAAS framework, which is part of the JAVA J2SE api.

jGuard is very flexible and allows several different ways to configure those mechanisms for authentication and authorization, i.e., in a relational database, XML files, or LDAP service. See documentation for more details.

jGuard is under the open source LGPL license.
