NAME
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store - Base module for building storage classes for the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication
plugin
VERSION
This document describes CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store version 0.20
SYNOPSIS
package CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store::MyStore;
use base qw(CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store);
sub fetch {
my $self = shift;
my @params = @_;
...
}
sub save {
my $self = shift;
my %params = @_;
...
}
sub delete {
my $self = shift;
my @params = @_;
...
}
DESCRIPTION
This module is a base class for all storage classes for the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication plugin. Each storage class is
required to provide three methods that fetch, save and delete data from the store. The information that is saved will be text based, so
there is no need to flatten any of the data that is to be stored.
METHODS TO OVERRIDE
The following three (and one optional) methods should be provided by the subclass.
fetch
This method accepts a list of parameters and will return a list of values from the store matching those parameters.
save
This method accepts a hash of parameters and values and will save those parameters in the store.
delete
This method accepts a list of parameters and will delete those parameters from the store.
clear
A call to this method will remove all information about the current user out of the store (should be provided by the subclass, but is not
required to be).
OTHER METHODS
The following methods are also provided by the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store base class.
new
This is a constructor that can create a new Store object. It requires an Authentication object as its first parameter, and any number of
other parameters that will be used as options depending on which Store object is being created. You shouldn't need to call this as the
Authentication plugin takes care of creating Store objects.
initialize
This method will be called right after a new Store object is created. So any startup customizations can be dealt with here.
options
This will return a list of options that were provided when this store was configured by the user.
authen
This will return the underlying CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication object. In most cases it will not be necessary to access this.
