Hi Tauren,
You could implement an AuthenticationListener - I typically like to do
this for these kinds of operations.
Since Shiro does not count remember me as a true authentication, the
AuthenticationListener will not be triggered for remember me events.
To do that you would also need to implement your own
RememberMeManager. Typically subclassing the default one and updating
the timestamp in the getRememberedPrincipals method would work:
@Override
public PrincipalCollection getRememberedPrincipals(Map subjectContext) {
PrincipalCollection principals =
super.getRememberedPrincipals(subjectContext);
if ( principals != null ) {
int userId = principals.getPrimaryPrincipal();
//update the last login timestamp for user with this id here
}
}
The above method is called only if the current Subject/session does
not yet have an identity associated with it.
The AuthenticationListener + the above overridden method should do it!
Cheers,
Les
