Docker is a platform which makes it easier to create, deploy and run your applications using containers. A container bundles all the software needed to run it. By packaging the required dependencies, it makes it easy to run it on any machine, regardless of small configuration differences. This article will explain more about introducing Docker. 

Using Payara Server for the first time?

We’ve put together this step-by-step “Getting Started Guide” to help you with everything you need to successfully install and put Payara Server to work for you, including:

Transport Layer Security (TLS) was introduced as a replacement for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). TLS is a cryptographic protocol which provides secure communication between a client and a server. It also provides a mechanism by which information is not tampered with, falsified or read by anyone other than the intended receiver. TLS 1.3 was released in August 2018 to replace the widely used TLS 1.2. TLS 1.3 comes with stronger cryptographic algorithms and brings in major improvements in performance, security and privacy, which will be discussed in this blog.

It's 6 months since I posted our last roadmap update and the team have been working hard to deliver what we promised at the beginning of the year and have released both our 191 and 192 releases since then. I therefore thought it was a good time to reflect on what we've delivered so far and what we've still got to do.

In this blog, I will explain how to deploy applications using the Payara Server Admin Console. You can also watch this super short video (under 2 minutes) to see how to deploy applications using NetBeans, the Payara Server Admin Console, or using admin commands.

You might already know that Payara Server originated out of a Glassfish fork. Glassfish being the reference implementation server of Java EE. Let's take a closer look at the components and modules that make up Payara Server.

To run your application or server over HTTPS you're going to need a certificate. Commonly referred to as an SSL or TLS certificate, this is a guide on how to register one using Let's Encrypt's Certbot and then how to configure Payara Server to use it.

Java SE comes with many security primitives upon which Java EE builds. JAAS for instance is a well known API in this context, from which Java EE uses the Principal, Subject and to some degree the LoginModule types. The Java EE security APIs JACC and JASPIC make direct use of these types.
