Installation of OWASP CSRFGuard 3 is very straight forward requiring two simple steps. First, you must copy the Owasp.CsrfGuard.jar file and map the CsrfGuardFilter in your application's deployment descriptor (web.xml). You'll need to make sure you tell CsrfGuardFilter the location of your CSRFGuard properties file via a JavaEE Filter init-param directive. Please refer to the following sub-sections for more detailed information on each of the aforementioned installation steps.

After copying over the OWASP CSRFGuard library, declare and map the CsrfGuardFilter in your application's web.xml deployment descriptor.

== Copy Owasp.CsrfGuard.jar to Classpath ==
 
 
 
The first thing you need to do is copy the Owasp.CsrfGuard.jar library into your classpath. The most common classpath location to place Owasp.CsrfGuard.jar is within the ''lib'' directory of the web application's ''WEB-INF'' folder. OWASP CSRFGuard 3 has no additional dependencies outside of the traditional JavaEE runtime environment.

After placing Owasp.CsrfGuard.jar in your application's classpath, you'll need to declare and map the CsrfGuardFilter in web.xml. All CSRF token verification logic is encompassed within the stand-alone filter. The following web.xml snippet was extracted from the [http://www.tbd.com Owasp.CsrfGuard.Test] web application:
 
 
 
<filter>
 
<filter-name>CSRFGuard</filter-name>
 
<filter-class>org.owasp.csrfguard.CsrfGuardFilter</filter-class>
 
<init-param>
 
<param-name>config</param-name>
 
<param-value>WEB-INF/Owasp.CsrfGuard.properties</param-value>
 
</init-param>
 
<init-param>
 
<param-name>print-config</param-name>
 
<param-value>true</param-value>
 
</init-param>

Installation

Installation of OWASP CSRFGuard 3 is very straight forward requiring two simple steps. First, you must copy the Owasp.CsrfGuard.jar file and map the CsrfGuardFilter in your application's deployment descriptor (web.xml). After copying over the OWASP CSRFGuard library, declare and map the CsrfGuardFilter in your application's web.xml deployment descriptor. This instructs the application server to initialize the OWASP CSRFGuard Filter protecting those resources that match the Filter mapping. You'll need to make sure you tell CsrfGuardFilter the location of your CSRFGuard properties file via the config JavaEE Filter init-param directive.
