Les, I've got things working with the PassThruAuthenticationFilter, but I don't understand how the flow of control works with FormAuthenticationFilter. With either PassThruAuthenticationFilter or FormAuthenticationFilter, we redirect the user to login.jsp, and we have to supply some ACTION. i.e. the webapp sample comes with a blank ACTION that needs to be filled in by me, right? In my case, I send a POST to my own servlet which calls login() and redirects. I see the FormAuthenticationFilter does the same thing in the AuthenticatingFilter.executeLogin() method, but I don't understand where that's called from. Is there some servlet that comes with Shiro that makes that call, or is there some other "magic" way that it gets called when the user presses Submit on login.jsp?
Thanks for all the answers.
