Hey everybody,

I'm currently working on a Grails app that utilizes the Shiro plugin. I'm
not really sure if the problem is in Shiro or the Grails plugin -- but after
poking in the plugins' source code I think its an issue with Shiro.

The problem I'm having is that Shiro retains JSESSIONID's over logins
rendering it vulnerable to session fixation attacks (
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Session_Fixation). The app I'm working on has
to meet very high security standards and this issue has been flagged. So far
I have been unable to work around it.

Is there a way to get Shiro to restart the session and therefor prevent
session fixation attacks? Or is there another way to prevent them that I am
not aware of?

Jakob
