> There should be a mechanism to secure passwords stored in shiro.ini for accessing databases or other data sources, as described in this Shiro user forum post:
> http://shiro-user.582556.n2.nabble.com/How-to-secure-database-password-in-shiro-ini-td7578763.html
> A flexible and extensible approach should allow for passwords to be stored in other INI or properties files, JNDI resources, databases, key stores, key servers, or other data sources.  Passwords might be encrypted using a master key, which could likewise be stored in various data sources.
> I already have an initial patch prepared that allows for passwords to be stored (plaintext or encrypted with a master key) in other INI files, similar to a shadow password file.  This can be further extended to use other data sources as needs arise.
