Hi Jared, It wil definitely be configurable, but typically because there might be more than one Shiro-enabled web app in a single JVM (it'd be odd for a single app to have more than one Shiro SecurityManager). Right now in my local dev environment, it is disabled by default.
But what is the 80/20 rule here? Should it be enabled by default, with the option to turn it off? Or keep it disabled by default (as it is now), and expect people to manually turn it on? Shiro's general premise is to make things as easy as possible. Will more people expect it to 'just work' without having to specify this extra config option? Or will more people be running more than one Shiro-enabled web app in the same JVM? Thoughts?
