Overview of this book

Organizations are moving their applications, data, and processes to the cloud to reduce application costs, effort, and maintenance. However, adopting new technology poses challenges for developers, solutions architects, and designers due to a lack of knowledge and appropriate practical training resources. This book helps you get to grips with Oracle Visual Builder (VB) and enables you to quickly develop web and mobile applications and deploy them to production without hassle. This book will provide you with a solid understanding of VB so that you can adopt it at a faster pace and start building applications right away. After working with real-time examples to learn about VB, you'll discover how to design, develop, and deploy web and mobile applications quickly. You'll cover all the VB components in-depth, including web and mobile application development, business objects, and service connections. In order to use all these components, you'll also explore best practices, security, and recommendations, which are well explained within the chapters. Finally, this book will help you gain the knowledge you need to enhance the performance of an application before deploying it to production. By the end of this book, you will be able to work independently and deploy your VB applications efficiently and with confidence.

Chapter 12: Securing VB Applications

In previous chapters, we developed various web and mobile applications. We used Business Objects, Service Connections, and various UI components to build visual applications.

In this chapter, we'll look at how to enable security for the web and mobile applications to prevent unauthorized access to the application. Security plays a vital role in the software world, especially when you publish your software over the internet. In this chapter, we'll look at different security aspects to secure the web and mobile applications.

In this chapter, we'll understand the inbuilt authentication roles and user roles and how these roles are assigned to users when they log in to the applications. We'll look at how to enable anonymous access on different Visual Builder (VB) components, such as web and mobile apps, Business Objects, and Service Connections, so that users can access the applications without login credentials.
