CUSTOMIZATION

By default, the params passed to authenticate() are 'username' and 'password'. If you need to use different names, then you'll need to set the correct value(s) via login_form_args in the configuration. The keys are 'authenticate_username_field_name' and/or 'authenticate_password_field_name'.

__PACKAGE__->config(
    'Controller::Login' => {
        login_form_args => {
           authenticate_username_field_name => 'name',
           authenticate_password_field_name => 'password2',
        },
    },
);

You can also change the way that the form is displayed by setting attributes. In MyApp.pm:

__PACKAGE__->config(
    'Controller::Login' => {
        login_form_args => {
           login_error_message => 'Login failed',
           field_list => [
               '+submit' => { value => 'Login' },
           ]
        }
    },
);

Additional fields can be added:

field_list => [
    'foo' => ( type => 'MyField' ),
    'bar' => { type => 'Text' },
]

Additional arguments to the authenticate call can be added: If your user table has a column status and you want only those with status = 'active'to be able to log .in

__PACKAGE__->config(
    'Controller::Login' => {
        login_form_args => { 
            authenticate_args => { status => 1 },
        },
    },
};
