NAME

Scaffold::Uaf::Login - A handler for the /login url.

DESCRIPTION

This handler handles the url "/login" and any actions on that url. By default this method display a simple login page which contains a login form. That form is submitted back to the "/login/validate" url, where the username and password are processed. This processing is done by the uaf_validate() method. If validation is succesful an User object is created. This object is then stored within the session store so uaf_is_valid() can access it when doing authentication. Also an initial security token is created.

This method also implements a simple three tries at login attempts. If after three tries, all attempts are redirected to "/login/denied", which displays a simple "denied" page. After a succesful login, a redirect is sent for root of the application.

METHODS
