Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::NoPasswordUser)Contributed Perl DocumenCatalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::NoPassword(3pm)
NAME
Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::NoPassword - Authenticate a user without a password.
SYNOPSIS
use Catalyst qw/
Authentication
/;
package MyApp::Controller::Auth;
sub login_as_another_user : Local {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
if ($c->user_exists() and $c->user->username() eq 'root') {
$c->authenticate( {id => c->req->params->{user_id}}, 'nopassword' );
}
}
DESCRIPTION
This authentication credential checker takes authentication information (most often a username) and retrieves the user from the store. No
validation of any credentials is done. This is intended for administrative backdoors, SAML logins and so on when you have identified the
new user by other means.
