Apache Shiro
Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography and session management.
shiro.apache.org/repositorydocs
Apache Shiro is a Java security framework for authentication, authorization, cryptography and session management. A Java application adds it through Maven: shiro-core is required in every environment, and shiro-web is the module for web applications. The web configuration pages register a listener and a filter in web.xml, and the site lists Spring, Guice and Jakarta EE integrations alongside the core.
The Apache Software Foundation maintains the project.
Worth knowing
The site marks its older release lines as end of life; the download page offers the current line. Building from the source bundle needs a newer JDK than the runtime minimum on the download page.
