Course Guide Week 4 - User Authentication and Security

Hi everyone,

in this week you'll get an introduction into user authentication and security in the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.

We'll learn how the platform helps you with the delegation of authentication and how to secure your applications on the platform.

At the end of this week you'll know how to accomplish this task efficiently and how to tackle even more sophisticated challenges around testing the security mechanisms of your application.

Find below some additional information related to this week of our course. There is also an overview document about all the blog posts I wrote during this course.
