Add remeber-me feature in cocoon-shiro module
---------------------------------------------
Key: COCOON3-84
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON3-84
Project: Cocoon 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cocoon-shiro
Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta-1
Reporter: Ajay Deshwal
cocoon-shiro module should provide feature to remember authenticating user.
A remembered identity gives the system an idea who that person probably is, but
in reality, has no way of guaranteeing the remembered identity really is that
user.
According to shiro docs: Shiro follows same paradigm as all over the web. for
eg: When you visit Amazon.com and perform a login and ask it to 'remember me',
it will set a cookie with your identity. If you don't log out and your session
expires, and you come back, say the next day, Amazon still knows who you
probably are: you still see all of your book and movie recommendations and
similar user-specific features since these are based on your (remembered) user
id.
Some facts worth remembering about Shiro's remember me feature:
if in filter chain definitons we set:
/myurl=authc > User has to authenticate no matter user had enabled
remember-me in previous session.
/myurl=roles[USER] > User will be granted access if user had enabled
remember-me in previous session(Assuming USER role has been assigned to
requesting user).
Now, when writing your own webapp, whether you use the authc filter or simply
depend on if the user is remembered is entirely up to you.
