88 Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Minimal::Backend - Minimal
89 authentication storage backend.
93 # you probably just want Store::Minimal under most cases,
94 # but if you insist you can instantiate your own store:
96 use Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Minimal::Backend;
102 __PACKAGE__->config->{authentication} =
104 default_realm => 'members',
114 password => "s00p3r",
116 roles => [qw/edit delete/],
119 password => "s3cr3t",
120 roles => [qw/comment/],
131 This authentication store backend lets you create a very quick and dirty user
132 database in your application's config hash.
134 You will need to include the Authentication plugin, and at least one Credential
135 plugin to use this Store. Credential::Password is reccommended.
137 It's purpose is mainly for testing, and it should probably be replaced by a
138 more "serious" store for production.
140 The hash in the config, as well as the user objects/hashes are freely mutable
149 The classname used for the store. This is part of
150 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication> and is the method by which
151 Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Minimal::Backend is loaded as the
152 user store. For this module to be used, this must be set to
157 This is a simple hash of users, the keys are the usenames, and the values are
158 hashrefs containing a password key/value pair, and optionally, a roles/list
159 of role-names pair. If using roles, you will also need to add the
160 Authorization::Roles plugin.
162 See the SYNOPSIS for an example.
168 There are no publicly exported routines in the Minimal store (or indeed in
169 most authentication stores) However, below is a description of the routines
170 required by L<Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication> for all authentication stores.
174 =item new ( $config, $app )
176 Constructs a new store object, which uses the user element of the supplied config
177 hash ref as it's backing structure.
179 =item find_user ( $authinfo, $c )
181 Keys the hash by the 'id' or 'username' element in the authinfo hash and returns the user.
183 ... documentation fairy stopped here. ...
185 If the return value is unblessed it will be blessed as
186 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::User::Hash>.
188 =item from_session $id
190 Delegates to C<get_user>.
194 Chooses a random user from the hash and delegates to it.
