Ben’s Build and B(r)ass Notes

In this tutorial you will learn how to secure your JAX-RS endpoints using Apache Shiro and JSON Web Tokens (JWT).

Apache Shiro is a powerful Java Security Toolkit, used by Java developers around the world to secure their applications. While Apache Shiro’s focus is on broad usability, it does excel in specific use cases. This article will give you a broad overview of what Apache Shiro is used for and where it excels, especially compared to other frameworks.

Wer sein GMX Login auch nach dem Umstieg auf GMail (ehemals: Google Mail) nicht aufgeben möchte, hat zwei Optionen. Zum einen ist es möglich, ein sog. »GMailify« durchzuführen — Google holt die Mails direkt in euer Google-Konto. Die andere Möglichkeit ist die Einrichtung in der GMail-App auf dem Handy. Beides wird in diesem Artikel als »How-To« vorgestellt.

Yesterday I released my new blog template. My blog is now built using:

Apache Shiro 1.9.0 has been released. This article will give a short overview of what has been changed in the build since Apache Shiro 1.8.0.

Whenever you set up a project or if you are a big company: You should host a file .well-known/security.txt so others can contact you in case of incidents or security reports. Here is what it is about and how we implemented it using JBake in Apache Shiro‘s site.

GridCoin-Mining on an old Raspberry Pi 1B? Just 512 MiB of RAM and barely 1000Mhz? Yes, it is possible. You just cannot compile it on your Pi. But it does work for staking. A how-to. And yes, this totally just a project for fun, because you cannot mine efficiently on this device!

While Java 17 from IBM (Semeru Runtime with OpenJ9) is not GA'd yet, this doesn't mean you cannot create an image yourself with the milestone builds. This is how it is done.

Another challenge we (the Apache Shiro Team) faced with our new JBake website was to re-re-add the "edit this page on GitHub" link at the bottom of the page. But it can be done with a workaround as long as the related bug is not solved.
