Kalle, Thank you for your help. However I was just about to post the same resolution.
I'm not using maven, as I haven't gotten around to figuring that system out yet. But I guess maven can be your friend.. As I understand i does automatic dependency management. I found the resolution by looking at the pom.xml file. Afterwards looking through the stack trace, it was kind of obvious too. In addition to the commons-beanutils, it needed the commons-logging also. And then it worked like a charm with the encrypted passwords. Thanks again for your quick reply. -Steffen -- View this message in context: http://shiro-user.582556.n2.nabble.com/Re-Shiro-ini-File-Encryption-tp5975628p5975659.html Sent from the Shiro User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
