Sure. Actually, this thread motivated me to start talking to the author,
and I'm now a maintainer for the project. Hopefully, I'll be able to
re-vamp the documentation, re-factor some code and start adding
features. (!)

I looked into securityfilter 2.0, and it looks like the "remember me"
capability actually /is/ in there, in contrast to the documentation.
It's possible that it doesn't work properly, or that it is not fully tested.

I agree. securityfilter is designed to provide the app-based security
for you... it's supposed to live in your webapp, not in the container.
