Hi Chris, There is a 'web' sample application that shows form-based authentication here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shiro/tags/shiro-root-1.2.0/samples/web/ Here are the web.xml, shiro.ini and login.jsp files respectively: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shiro/tags/shiro-root-1.2.0/samples/web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shiro/tags/shiro-root-1.2.0/samples/web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/shiro.ini https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shiro/tags/shiro-root-1.2.0/samples/web/src/main/webapp/login.jsp You'll notice in shiro.ini, the following [main] config: shiro.loginUrl = /index.jsp Anything property with a 'shiro.' prefix means that the value should be applied on _any_ object with that property. For example, the above line will call setLoginUrl("/index.jsp") on the authc filter, the authcBasic filter, etc. If this is confusing, it might be better to just set the properties directly, for example: [main] # tell the 'authc' (FormAuthenticationFilter) that it should react to requests to /index.jsp: authc.loginUrl = /index.jsp An odd bit of this configuration is that, although it feels like you're 'done', you still have to tell shiro to use that filter for those requests. So in [urls], you'll need to also specify: [urls] /index.jsp = authc On a final note, if the documentation can be updated to make this easier to understand, please let us know your thoughts and we can see about making that better.
