+ - Add ability to override the realm name presented for authentication
+ when calling $c->authenticate. Docs and tests for this.
+ - Clean up documentation of options inherited from
+ Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password
+
1.002 2008-09-03
- Fix the assumptions that the password field is named password when doing
digest auth.
-* Document the C::A::C::Password stuff properly
-* Work out what options inherited from C::A::C::Password make sense, and
- test / document them + make apply to digest as appropriate.
+. Document md5'd passwords for digest stuff
. Port work's apps.
. Document how to find the credential module, so that you can call authorization_required_response if you want to.
-. Document, and test overriding the realm's realm->name method.
. Add deprecation notice to old module.
+. document & test authorization_required_message
. Test $self->_config->{authorization_required_message} + authorization_required_message = undef does not stamp on body.
. Split auth headers / do auth methods again, and make authenticate call each in turn.
. Document / test 'algorithm' config.

This will only try the methods set in the configuration. First digest, then basic.
-This method just passes the options through untouched. See the next two methods for what \%auth_info can contain.
+The %auth_info hash can contain a number of keys which control the authentication behaviour:
+
+=over
+
+=item realm
+
+Sets the HTTP authentication realm presented to the client. Note this does not alter the
+Catalyst::Authentication::Realm object used for the authentication.
+
+=item password_type
+
+The type of password returned by the user object. Same useage as in
+L<Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password|Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password/passwprd_type>
+
+=item password_field
+
+The name of accessor used to retrieve the value of the password field from the user object. Same useage as in
+L<Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password|Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password/password_field>
+

=item authenticate_basic $c, $realm, \%auth_info
-Acts like L<Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password>, and will lookup the user's password as detailed in that module.
+Performs HTTP basic authentication.
=item authenticate_digest $c, $realm, \%auth_info
-Assumes that your user object has a hard coded method which returns a clear text password.
+Performs HTTP digest authentication. Note that the password_type B<must> by I<clear> for
+digest authentication to succeed.
