Spring GemFire client authentication

Question

I have implemented a clustered environment with a GemFire cache in Spring, using cache-server and client-cache. How can I implement authentication or any kind of security between client and server in a clustered environment?

@Sonal-

Several different ways! Have a look at...

https://github.com/jxblum/contacts-application/blob/apache-geode/security-example/src/test/java/example/app/geode/security/GeodeSecurityIntegrationTests.java

While this is coded for Apache Geode, it applies equally to Pivotal GemFire 9.x (which is based on Apache Geode 1.0.0-incubating).

You can also read my Spring.io Blog Post, which specifically covered Security. While this pertained to Spring Data for Apache Geode, it equally applies in Spring Data GemFire 2.0.0, which is based on Pivotal GemFire 9.0.x.

Hope this helps!
