In real-world applications on production systems; security is a top concern. This security concern is separated into two: Authentication and Authorization. Authentication mainly focuses on who can access to the application and authorization focuses on who can access which resources based on their authorities. 

In this article I will share my experience with Spring Security on a demo purpose application of which source code is available on Github.
