------------------------------------

Another good read is the section on session fixation testing in the OWASP 
testing guide: 
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_Session_Fixation_%28OWASP-SM-003%29

> Force New Session ID on Authentication

>             Project: Shiro

> I am working on an application that has very high security standards. One of 
> the issues raised after a full audit of the app is that it might be 
> vulnerable for session fixation attacks. Shiro does not reset the Session ID 
> after successful authentication, which would prevent this type of attack. 
> IMHO this would add another level of security to Shiro beneficial for all 
> kinds of applications. 
> OWASP has a good page on session fixation attacks:
