NAME Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::RDBO - Authentication and authorization against a Rose::DB::Object model. VERSION This document describes Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::RDBO version 0.002. SYNOPSIS use Catalyst; __PACKAGE__->setup( qw( Authentication Authentication::Store::DBIC Authentication::Credential::Password Authorization::Roles ) ); # Authentication __PACKAGE__->config->{authentication}{rdbo} = { user_class => 'User', # or 'MyApp::Model::User' user_field => 'username', password_field => 'password', password_type => 'hashed', # or 'clear' password_hash_type => 'SHA-1', }; # Authorization __PACKAGE__->config->{authorization}{rdbo} = { role_rel => 'roles', # name of the many-to-many relationship role_field => 'name', }; DESCRIPTION This plugin uses a Rose::DB::Object object to authenticate an user. It is based on Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC. Please read there for a much better description. DIFFERENCES Currently only a single field for the "user_field" parameter is supported. The DBIC plugin supports also an array reference. This can be added in a future version. The default for "user_field" is "username" instead of "user". The configuration for authorization is much simpler, only two parameters are needed. "role_rel" specifies the name of the many-to-many relationship which connects user and role names. "role_field" is the column accessor for the role name. (For Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::Roles roles are just strings.)
