Thank you, Les! The definitely clears things up a lot. One more question:
I'm wiring Shiro in Spring, so would the filter bean definition look
something like this? (currently depending on Shiro 1.1.0)

    <bean id="shiroFilter"
class="org.apache.shiro.spring.web.ShiroFilterFactoryBean">
        <property name="securityManager" ref="securityManager"/>
        <property name="filters">
            <util:map>
                <entry key="authc" value-ref="customFilter"/>
            </util:map>
        </property>
        <property name="filterChainDefinitions">
            <value>
                /login = anon
                /logout = anon
                /** = authc
            </value>
        </property>
    </bean>

Systems integrating with us via our web based application will explicitly
hit a /login url and a /logout url.

Thanks again!
