Spring Security:

Spring Security is a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. It is the de-facto standard for securing Spring-based applications.

Like all Spring projects, the real power of Spring Security is found in how easily it can be extended to meet custom requirements

Spring Security Features:

• Comprehensive and extensible support for both Authentication and Authorization

Remember me is a feature that allows a user to access into application without re-login. User's login session terminates after closing the browser and if user again access the application by opening browser, it prompts for login. But we can avoid this re-login by using remember me feature. It stores user's identity into the Cookie or database and use to identity the user. We implemented this into the current project.
