DESCRIPTION

This is a simple authentication provider which authenticates based on a list of usernames, passwords (crypted, preferably - see below) and role specifications provided in the realm definition in your app's config file.

This class is primarily intended as an example of what an authentication provider class should do; however, if you just want simple user authentication with user details stored in your app's config file, it may well suit your needs.

See Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible for details on how to use the authentication framework.

SYNOPSIS

In your app's "config.yml":

plugins:
Auth::Extensible:
realms:
config:
provider: Config
users:
- user: dave
pass: supersecret
roles:
- Developer
- Manager
- BeerDrinker
- user: bob
pass: '{SSHA}+2u1HpOU7ak6iBR6JlpICpAUvSpA/zBM'
roles:
- Tester

As you can see, you can define the usernames, passwords (please use crypted passwords, RFC2307-style, not plain text (although plain text *is* supported, but really not a good idea), and the roles for each user (if you're not planning to use roles, omit the roles section from each user entirely).
