[[vaadin-7-spring-security-base-authentication]]
= Vaadin 7 + Spring Security (base authentication)

Vaadin 7 is easy to integrate with Spring Security. You should configure only
2 files. First - web.xml and second one spring-security.xml (user
credentials and security settings). This is a small example on how to use
base form for authentication.
