I have a working JSF Web Application and I need to add Authentication to. I've had some difficulty getting Spring Security working because its seems like its pretty .jsp focused.

Is there something that works easily with JSF?

From this post: Alternatives to spring-security in Java (spring) (from 2012) I see that the main alternative is Apache Shiro

I was wondering if anything else has come along in the last 3 years and what the best library/process would be to work with an existing .jsf application.

I'll likely be doing LDAP authentication

  • I assume it can also work with tomcat? – Jeef May 13 '15 at 16:36
  • Yes, I think it could, but if you have all advantages then I'm not sure. It is certainly more mature than shiro and independent of spring – Kukeltje May 13 '15 at 16:40
