--------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to logout a user without destroying the
http session
Key: SHIRO-454
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-454
Project: Shiro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Authentication (log-in), Session Management
Affects Versions: 1.2.1
Reporter: Andreas Sahlbach
I am using Shiro together with Vaadin, but the following should be true for all
GWT based rich clients.
If you are using these kind of frameworks, you mostly want to handle login and
logout within the application itself. If this is the case, you absolutely don't
want that a logout destroys the http session. Because that will alert the user
that the session is gone and will force the user to reload the whole
application and starting from scratch.
Please: Just give me the possibility to do a user logout. As a workaround I
inherited from DefaultWebSecurityManager and overwrote the logout method to do
everything but the http session invalidation. But that's a lot of cut and paste
code and it could be easily provided by introducing a configurable setting or
parameter for the logout.
