Minor Description
The Feature Page still announces Kerberos as out-of-the-box pluggable datasource, which is wrong, as SHIRO-499 shows.
Here is just a quick fix:

In addition, you can customize the authentication process with Shiro's notion of an authentication strategy. The strategies can be setup in configuration files so changes don't require source code modifications-- reducing complexity and maintenance effort.
