NAME

       Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll - accept any passphrase

SYNOPSIS

	       use Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll;

	       $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll->new;

	       $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll
		       ->from_crypt("");

	       $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll
		       ->from_rfc2307("{CRYPT}");

	       if($ppr->match($passphrase)) { ...

	       $passphrase = $ppr->passphrase;

	       $passwd = $ppr->as_crypt;
	       $userPassword = $ppr->as_rfc2307;

DESCRIPTION

       An object of this class is a passphrase recogniser that accepts any passphrase whatsoever.  This is a subclass of Authen::Passphrase, and
       this document assumes that the reader is familiar with the documentation for that class.

       This type of passphrase recogniser is obviously of no use at all in controlling access to any resource.	Its use is to permit a resource to
       be public in a system that expects some type of passphrase access control.

CONSTRUCTORS

       Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll->new
	   Returns an accept-all passphrase recogniser object.	The same object is returned from each call.

       Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll->from_crypt("")
	   Returns an accept-all passphrase recogniser object.	The same object is returned from each call.  The argument must be the empty
	   string.

       Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll->from_rfc2307(USERPASSWORD)
	   Generates a new accept-all passphrase recogniser object from an RFC 2307 string.  The string must consist of "{CRYPT}" (case
	   insensitive) followed by an acceptable crypt string.

METHODS

       $ppr->match(PASSPHRASE)
       $ppr->passphrase
       $ppr->as_crypt
       $ppr->as_rfc2307
	   These methods are part of the standard Authen::Passphrase interface.  The "match" method always returns true, and the "passphrase"
	   method returns the empty string (the shortest of the infinite number of correct passphrases).
