Problem with Session Replication and ShiroFilter

[Charles Syperski]

Hello and thanks for an awesome project!

Here is my problem, I am attempting to do the poor mans SSO by using 
domain level cookies (so multiple web apps/contexts can use the same 
session) with terracotta.  I think I have everything working with the 
exception that when I add ShiroFilter to my web.xml:

<filter>
        <filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.ShiroFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>

<filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher>
    </filter-mapping>

I can no longer use sessionCookieDomain= and sessionCookiePath= in my 
applications context.xml to allow the cookie to be set at the domain 
level.  It seems that the Shiro filter is setting the JSESSIONID cookie 
and not obeying the settings in the context tag. Is this correct, can I 
get the Shiro Filter not set the context path or the sub domain?

I am running:

Tomcat 7.0.27, shiro-core-1.2.0.jar, shiro-ehcache-1.2.0.jar and 
shiro-web-1.2.0.jar with openjdk 1.7 on Ubuntu 12.04

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Chuck
