CbSecurity (2): cbAuth validator

Introduction

In this post I will guide you through setting up cbSecurity with the flexible cbAuth validator and annotation based security. Before we start let’s look at the basics, as described in Getting Started | Overview at https://coldbox-security.ortusbooks.com.

When you install and configure the cbsecurity module it will wrap itself around the preProcess interception point. This point happens before any event execution in coldbox and thus is the perfect point to inspect incoming requests. The cbsecurity interceptor will try to validate your request against a configured validator. The validator will tell back if you are allowed access, and if not , what kind of validation is broken: authentication or authorization.
