CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic

NAME

CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic - Generic Authentication driver

SYNOPSIS

use base qw(CGI::Application);
use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;
__PACKAGE__->authen->config(
DRIVER => [ 'Generic', { user1 => '123', user2 => '123' } ],
);

DESCRIPTION

This Driver offers a simple way to provide a user database to the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication plugin. It offers three ways to provide a list of users to the plugin by providing a hash of username/password pairs, an array of arrays containing the username and password pairs, or a code reference that returns back the username, or undef on success or failure.

EXAMPLE

my %users = (
user1 => '123',
user2 => '123',
);
__PACKAGE__->authen->config(
DRIVER => [ 'Generic', \%users ],
);
- or -
my @users = (
['example.com', 'user1', '123'],
['example.com', 'user2', '123'],
['foobar.com', 'user1', '123'],
);
__PACKAGE__->authen->config(
DRIVER => [ 'Generic', \@users ],
CREDENTIALS => [ 'authen_domain', 'authen_username', 'authen_password' ]
);
- or -
sub check_password {
my @credentials = @_;
if ($credentials[0] eq 'test' && $credentials[1] eq 'secret') {
return 'testuser';
}
return;
}
__PACKAGE__->authen->config(
DRIVER => [ 'Generic', \&check_password ],
);

METHODS

verify_credentials
This method will test the provided credentials against either the hash ref, array ref or code ref that the driver was configured with.
