Using Shiro's PasswordMatcher with a custom realm

Question

I\'m using Apache Shiro with a custom JDBC realm to retrieve a user’s salt, password, hash algorithm name and number of hash iterations from the database which are all store

Answer 1

I posted a message on the Shiro mailing list and got a reply saying that the PasswordMatcher by default does not look at anything in the AuthenticationInfo other than authenticationInfo.getCredentials().
