Apache Shiro Documentation

Apache Shiro is a Java security framework designed to handle four primary security tasks:

1. Authentication: Verifying user identity (e.g., login).
2. Authorization: Determining if a user has permission to perform a specific action or access a resource.
3. Cryptography: Providing support for encryption, hashing, and other cryptographic operations.
4. Session Management: Managing user sessions (including web sessions) without requiring a web container.

It is designed to be easy to use across various application types, from mobile to large-scale enterprise web applications.

To run the demonstration web application (WAR packaged) which shows how to configure Apache Shiro via Spring and includes a Spring Remoting example, use Maven to run the Jetty server.

After running the command, the application will be available at http://localhost:8080/shiro-samples-spring.

mvn jetty:run

To run the Guice-based web application example which demonstrates Shiro configuration via Guice and basic user login, use Maven to start the Jetty server.

mvn jetty:run

This sample project demonstrates how to configure Apache Shiro in a web application using web.xml and implements basic user login functionality. To run the example application using Maven and the Jetty plugin, execute the following command in your terminal:

mvn jetty:run

To run the Spring Boot example web application demonstrating user login with Spring and Hibernate, use the Maven Jetty plugin from the project root.

After running the command, the application will be available at http://localhost:9080/.

mvn jetty:run

Once the application is running via mvn jetty:run-war, you can access the web application at the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/shiro-samples-spring

Once the Jetty server is running via mvn jetty:run, you can access the web application at the following URL:

http://localhost:9080/

This sample project demonstrates how to use Apache Shiro within a Spring Boot CLI application. It covers common security tasks including user login, permission checking, and protecting methods using annotations. To run the example application, use the Maven Spring Boot plugin.

mvn spring-boot:run

Once the Maven Jetty plugin has successfully started the server, you can access the running web application by navigating to the following URL in your browser:

http://localhost:9080/

Once the application is running via mvn spring-boot:run, you can access the web interface at the default local address.

http://localhost:8080/

To run the Spring Boot web application example which demonstrates user login, permission checking, and annotation-protected methods, use the Maven Spring Boot plugin.

mvn spring-boot:run
