Hi Less, I suposse what was missing a little bit for me was my self. To much information in a short period of time, looking for examples, references, forums, mailing lists. I began with Acegi and ended with Shiro, which seems to be easier and flexible enough. Someone even said that Acegi is a marvel of flexibility with the price of complexity. Well, I can't pay that price right now... Reading about Acegi I think I found that you could write information into the LDAP server, but probably I'm mistaken.
I've followed the link you gave me I and I've seen some pages I didn't know, so my search for information was not so good to blame Shiro for absence of documentation. What was hard for me was finding the way to put the ActiveDirectoryRealm in play. The Quickstart tutorial doesn't show "How to use another realm from the api" or "How to dinamically choose between realms". And I really needed a tutorial at the beginning. Dealing with SecurityManager was my first fight. This http://n2.nabble.com/Reading-user-roles-from-Active-Directory-td2503002.html#a2503002 issue gave me the key because the code shown works, although the guy presents other problem. If someone write an article showing his or hes success using and LDAP or Active Directory Realm can be really useful for the beginners. Maybe that guy can be me in a short future, but I think there are more experienced people to do that. Anyway I'll write the spanish version ;) Other problem I had was that I was working on Grails without knowing java frameworks too well, so I had to figure out how the xmls, filters, beans and java code worked and try to "translate" to Grails. I know this is not exactly a problem with Shiro, but was a problem for me learning Shiro, so I think is remarkable. Thank you a lot for your answer. I'm using Shiro for my project and try other http://alextch.members.winisp.net/ResetADPasswordFromJava/SetADPasswordFromJava.htm solution for the changing password part . Congratulations for the project and your contribution to it.
