DESCRIPTION

This Authentication driver uses the DBIx::Class module to allow you to authenticate against any DBIx::Class class.

PARAMETERS

The DBIx::Class authentication driver accepts the following required parameters.

SCHEMA (required)

Specifies the DBIx::Class::Schema object to use for authentication. This class must be loaded prior to use.

CLASS (required)

Specifies the DBIx::Class class within the schema which contains authentication information.

FIELD_METHODS (required)

FIELD_METHODS is an arrayref of the methods in the DBIx::Class class specified by CLASS to be used during authentication. The order of these methods needs to match the order of the CREDENTIALS. For example, if CREDENTIALS is set to:

CREDENTIALS => [qw(auth_user auth_domain auth_password)]

Then FIELD_METHODS must be set to:

FIELD_METHODS => [qw(userid domain password)]
  

FIELD_METHODS supports filters as specified by CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver

METHODS

verify_credentials

This method will test the provided credentials against the values found in the database, according to the Driver configuration.
