Microservice Permission Design with Shiro, Redis Session Sharing, and Dubbo

The article presents a detailed guide on designing and implementing fine-grained permission control for microservices using Apache Shiro, Spring Boot, Dubbo, and Redis to share session data across services, including code examples, configuration steps, and testing of role‑based access.

Microservice Permission Design with Shiro, Redis Session Sharing, and Dubbo

This article discusses the design and implementation of permission control in a microservice architecture using Apache Shiro, Spring Boot, Dubbo, and Redis for shared session management.

It first compares Shiro and Spring Security, then proposes a solution that separates the Shiro module from user services while sharing session data via a custom CacheManager and EnterpriseCacheSessionDAO .

The project structure includes common modules ( common-core , common-cache , common-auth ), a gateway, user and video services, and demonstrates how to configure Shiro, create custom realms, and implement Redis‑based session storage with code examples such as public DefaultWebSecurityManager() and public static JedisPool initialPool() .

The article also shows how to handle authentication, authorization, and exception mapping, and provides testing steps for role‑based access control, illustrating both successful and unauthorized requests.
