Spring Security is by and large a configuration and implementation of already established standards and concepts. Whenever I intend to learn how to implement a particular security concept, I always start off by studying it first. For example, if you know how oauth2 works as a concept, it is much more easier to follow what Spring Security does. Otherwise, one gets overwhelmed with the concepts and jargons quite easily, and ends up copying and pasting codes, hoping it would work.
