Hi Juan,

Could you clarify what was missing for you?

Here is our documentation:

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SHIRO/Reference

You'll also find that the Shiro JavaDoc, while not perfect, is pretty
good as far as open source projects go.  Of course we're always trying
to make it better!

As to your Active Directory question, Shiro has an
ActiveDirectoryRealm that you could use.  All out-of-the-box Realms in
Shiro provide a 'read-only' model:  each application's data is
structured differently, so it is not possible for Shiro to know how to
update your data model (e.g. update a user's password).  Most people
perform updates to their data model however they want - either via a
Service implementation or DAO or similar construct.  Acegi works the
same way if I'm not mistaken - you have to update your data model
yourself.

Check out the Realm page in the Reference documentation.  That should
help a little as well.  And please feel free to ask questions and make
recommendations here - your feedback is appreciated.

Best,

Les
