------------------------------------
Summary: Explain how "Remember Me" works under the hood and that
you might want to use a custom cipher key
Key: SHIRO-441
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-441
Project: Shiro
Issue Type: Documentation
Components: Documentation, Sample Apps
Affects Versions: 1.2.1
Reporter: Marian Seitner
Neither the tutorial (http://shiro.apache.org/tutorial.html (section "Using
Shiro")) nor the the reference documentation
(http://shiro.apache.org/authentication.html#Authentication-Rememberedvs.Authenticated
(chapter "Authentication")) give any hints that without a custom cipher key
the - publicly available - default key will be used (defined in
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com.ning/metrics.collector/1.2.1/org/apache/shiro/mgt/AbstractRememberMeManager.java/).
Especially the statement in the tutorial is questionable: "this is all you have
to do to support 'remember me' (no config - built in!)". While true and fairly
obvious to advanced developers the potential security implications should be
better explained.
