NAME
Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Authen::Simple - Verify
credentials with the Authen::Simple framework
SYNOPSIS
use Catalyst qw(Authentication);
# later on ...
if ($c->authenticate({ username => 'myusername',
password => 'mypassword' })){
my $long_name = $c->user->get('LongName');
# Hello Mr $long_name
}
DESCRIPTION
This module helps your Cataylst Application authenticate against a lot
of credential databases thanks to the Authen::Simple framework.
USAGE
Just configure your Catalyst App Authentication to use class
'Authen::Simple' as the credential verifier, and give it a set of
Authen::Simple classes. You can pass arguments to the Authen::Simple:XXX
class constructors with the 'args' key. Note that the authen key is an
array. If more than one class is specified, when your app authenticates,
the username and password is submitted to each class until one of the
classes returns that the user/pass pair is valid. If no class validates
the credentials, the user is not able to log in.
'Plugin::Authentication' => {
'realms' => {
'default' => {
'store' => { ... }
'credential' => {
'class' => 'Authen::Simple',
'authen' => [
{
'class' => 'Passwd',
'args' => {
'path' => '/etc/shadow'
}
},
{
'class' => 'SSH',
'args' => {
'host' => 'host.company.com'
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
If the Catalyst log object is compatible with the Authen::Simple log
object, Authen::Simple classes will log through Catalyst.
new
Called by Catalyst::Authentication. Instances the Authen::Simple classes
read from the configuration.
authenticate
Usage : Call $c->authenticate({ username => ..., password => ...});
