-1 Francois, we wanted to use a separate path in the URL. |
I'm not sure to follow the separate path thing, can you explain? |

So, updated the structure but have not yet copied everything over. We can do it now or later, two new macros should help with this. Later fixes:

| If you don't want the [users] section passwords to be in plain-text, you can encrypt them using your favorite hash algorithm (MD5, Sha1, Sha256, etc.) however you like and use the resulting string as the password value. By default, the password string is expected to be Hex encoded, but can be configured to be Base64 encoded instead (see below). | |||

Is this actually true? I seem to remember this plain-text passwords work in shiro 2 at the moment

This is technically not true since Shiro 2 can encrypt / decrypt Shiro 1.x passwords. There is forward-and-backward path for compatibility as I tested this recently. This is a good thing IMHO.
Currently, it takes some "finagling" to get working which I think is a good thing, it makes compatibility possibly but use Argon2 by default.
fixes #185
Looking at this, does the ini parser even work now? We need to investigate before we can release Shiro 2.
Especially:
I cannot recall if we tested this properly (commas...).
Edit: Added two macros to link to the v2 page (if available) or "soft-warn" about this being a v2 page.
See Screenshots, please help with the wording.
The broken icons can be fixed at a later time in another PR.
