The purpose of this page is to describe what I did to integrate Acegi Security into 1.8. Hopefull you can use this to change your pre-1.8 applications to Acegi Security if you like. The nice thing about migrating to Acegi Security is your application becomes more portable and you don't have to worry about configuring your application server. Also, there weren't many code changes involved in the integration process - which proves Acegi Security works very well with all the existing code that talks to the security methods of the Servlet API (i.e. request.isUserInRole(), etc.)

<a href="#PartII">Part II</a> of this tutorial shows you how to remove Acegi Security from AppFuse and revert back to Container-Managed Authentication (CMA). However, this might not be a necessary step if you want to use CMA because Acegi Security has a number of [Container Adapters|http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net/docbook/acegi.html#security-container-adapters] available.

Use the instructions below to change your AppFuse 1.8 application to use CMA. We don't expect many folks will need to do this, but more documentation is better than less. ;-)
