NAME
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::RDBO::User - The backing user class for the Catalyst::Authentication::Store::RDBO storage module.
VERSION
This documentation refers to version 0.1000.
SYNOPSIS
Internal - not used directly, please see Catalyst::Authentication::Store::RDBO for details on how to use this module. If you need more information than is present there, read the source.
DESCRIPTION
The Catalyst::Authentication::Store::RDBO::User class implements user storage connected to an underlying Rose::DB::Object subclass.
SUBROUTINES / METHODS
new
Constructor.
load ( $authinfo, $c )
Retrieves a user from storage using the information provided in $authinfo.
supported_features
Indicates the features supported by this class. These are currently Roles and Session.
roles
Returns an array of roles associated with this user, if roles are configured for this user class.
for_session
Returns a serialized user for storage in the session.
from_session
Revives a serialized user from storage in the session.
get ( $fieldname )
Returns the value of $fieldname for the user in question. Roughly translates to a call to the $fieldname method of the underlying Rose::DB::Object subclass.
get_object
Retrieves the underlying Rose::DB::Object-subclassed object that corresponds to this user
obj (method)
Synonym for get_object
auto_create
This is called when the auto_create_user option is turned on in Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication and a user matching the authinfo provided is not found. By default, this will call the auto_create() method of the resultset associated with this object. It is up to you to implement that method.
auto_update
This is called when the auto_update_user option is turned on in Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication. Note that by default the RDBO store uses every field in the authinfo hash to match the user. This means any information you provide with the intent to update must be ignored during the user search process. Otherwise the information will most likely cause the user record to not be found. To ignore fields in the search process, you have to add the fields you wish to update to the 'ignore_fields_in_find' authinfo element. Alternately, you can use one of the advanced row retrieval methods (searchargs or resultset).
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
None known currently, please email the author if you find any.
