NAME

       CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic - Generic Authentication driver

VERSION

       This document describes CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic version 0.20

SYNOPSIS

	use base qw(CGI::Application);
	use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;

	 __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
	       DRIVER => [ 'Generic', { user1 => '123', user2 => '123' } ],
	 );

DESCRIPTION

       This Driver offers a simple way to provide a user database to the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication plugin.  It offers three ways to
       provide a list of users to the plugin by providing a hash of username/password pairs, an array of arrays containing the username and
       password pairs, or a code reference that returns back the username, or undef on success or failure.

EXAMPLE

	 my %users = (
	   user1 => '123',
	   user2 => '123',
	 );
	 __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
	       DRIVER => [ 'Generic', \%users ],
	 );

	 - or -

	 my @users = (
	   ['example.com', 'user1', '123'],
	   ['example.com', 'user2', '123'],
	   ['foobar.com', 'user1', '123'],
	 );
	 __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
	       DRIVER => [ 'Generic', @users ],
	       CREDENTIALS => [ 'authen_domain', 'authen_username', 'authen_password' ]
	 );

	 - or -

	 sub check_password {
	   my @credentials = @_;
	   if ($credentials[0] eq 'test' && $credentials[1] eq 'secret') {
	       return 'testuser';
	   }
	   return;
	 }

	 __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
	       DRIVER => [ 'Generic', &check_password ],
	 );

METHODS

   verify_credentials
       This method will test the provided credentials against either the hash ref, array ref or code ref that the driver was configured with.
