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

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

solution for the changing password part . Congratulations for the project
and your contribution to it.

Thanks

Juan
