Hi James, What you need to do for this requirement is to configure Shiro to use database tables, using its JdbcRealm or similar [1], [2], [3]
Then, model these concepts as entities within Isis, such that (when using our JDO objectstore) that they map onto these tables. You'll then be able to configure access to your regular entities (ToDoItem or whatever) through Isis itself. I can see this being a useful "off-the-shelf" component that others might want to use, so you might want to do this as a little independent project in github or similar. (Getting ahead of myself... some day it might also be good to incorporate within Isis itself) HTH Dan [1] http://shiro.apache.org/static/1.2.1/apidocs/org/apache/shiro/realm/jdbc/JdbcRealm.html [2] http://blog.pinateknoloji.com/shiro-jdbc-realm [3] http://java.dzone.com/articles/java-web-application-security-1 On 23 June 2013 08:36, james agada <[email protected]> wrote: > No I am not building an Identity management system.
