Ethan found an interesting blog about Apache Shiro integration in Lift (http://goo.gl/fb/3kLxZ)
Apache Shiro is a Java security framework (formally known as JSecurity) and it comes with a fairly abstract set of classes for building systems that have the familiar users, roles and permissions setup. There is an interesting write up here with further details: http://shiro.apache.org/authentication-features.html Thanks to Vladimir we already have some implemented some features such as LDAP and container-based authentication. Should we look at Shiro? Thoughts? D.
