In correspondence with the update to the Spring Boot 3 (As of December 2023), the application will be using Spring Security 6, as it is the version that works with SB3.

The developer can follow the DemoController to see an example of how to configure a secured endpoint. Reference the SecurityConfig module in order to configure the security for specific endpoints.

The configuration for the Neo4j database connection can be configured in the application.properties file found in the resources. In order to set this up locally, the user should download and install the latest version of neo4j desktop, and then create and run a server locally. The

Other options for running the database layer in Neo4j include using a docker container to run the instance.
