Apache Shiro is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session management. With Shiro’s easy-to-understand API, you can quickly and easily secure any application – from the smallest mobile applications to the largest web and enterprise applications.
We recommend you start with the [10 Minute Tutorial] which gives you a feel for Shiro and its API. Then feel free to get started using Shiro in your own applications.
If you have any questions, please check out our documentation or contact the user [mailing list].
And if you’re a fan of Shiro and would like to help it grow, we invite you become a contributor to the project. Please check out the [New Contributor Guide].
Apache Shiro aims to be the most comprehensive and usable Java security framework available. Below are the framework's major features.
Support logins across one or more pluggable data sources (LDAP, JDBC, ActiveDirectory, etc).

Dear Apache Shiro Community,
The Shiro team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Shiro version 1.2.0!
This release includes a number of bug fixes and new features since the 1.1.0 release. The 1.2.0 release is available from the Download page.
All binaries (.jars) are available in Maven Central already. Please note that the Apache mirrors are still updating to reflect the source distribution, but some mirrors may not be updated yet. If a mirror download link does not work, please try another or wait another 12 to 24 hours.
More complete PasswordService and related config documentation will be added to the Shiro website in the next few days - it was better to release now for the many who are waiting on the release, and follow up with this part of the documentation shortly.
And even more new features! See the 'Resolved Issues' below for a complete list.
There are only a few small cases where breakage could occur - please view the release notes to ensure you mitigate any potential breaking change - particularly if you are using the SecureRandomNumberGenerator
