NAME

       WebAuth::Tests - Assists with constructing WebAuth Apache module tests

SYNOPSIS

           use WebAuth::Tests qw(build_page);

           my %settings = (
               test_number   => 1,
               test_desc     => 'basic WebAuth test',
               extended_desc => \@extended,
           );

           print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
           print build_page(\%settings);

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides shared code for the test suite for the mod_webauth Apache module.  It is used by the
       individual test programs and test Apache configuration to construct a variety of scenarios to exercise
       most of the functionality of mod_webauth and some of the WebLogin and mod_webkdc features.  Most of the
       test setup is in the Apache configuration, but each test corresponds to a Perl script, which uses this
       module, that checks environment variables to see that the tests did what they should and provides useful
       debugging information if they did not.

       This module is primarily intended for use with the tests that are included with WebAuth and currently
       includes some defaults that make it difficult to use for other purposes.  The goal is to eventually make
       it more general so that it can be used for building additional tests local to a particular site.

FUNCTIONS

None of the following functions are exported by default. They must be explicitly requested when using
the WebAuth::Tests module.

build_page(SETTINGS)
Performs the work of building a test page that shows the test number, title, information about the
test run, and various tables showing current status and tests run. SETTINGS should be a reference to
a hash, which may contain one or more of the following settings:

test_number
The number of this test, passed to the template.

test_desc
The short description of this test, passed to the template.

extended_description
The extended description of this test. This should be a reference to an array that contains one
or more paragraphs of text as strings. Each element of the array will be wrapped in <p> tags.

extra_tests
An anonymous array of hash references, each of which represents a test result. The hash should
have three keys: "name", "result", and "comment". "name" should be the name of this test,
"result" should be either "PASS" or "FAIL", and "comment" should provide additional information
about the test.

extra_tests_title
If there are extra tests, this will be used as the heading for that test output. If this setting
is present, extra_tests should also be present.

multifactor
Set this to true to also perform multifactor tests.

template
The path (possibly relative) to the template used for generating HTML. By default, this is set
to ../test.tt2, which works for the default mod_webauth test suite (and probably not for anything
else).

unauth_loc
Set this to true if this test will be running without authentication. This is used by the
template to change some of the boilerplate text.

run_test(NAME, RESULT, GOOD, BAD, BOLD)
Performs a test of WebAuth information, returning an anonymous hash showing the results of the test
in the format required by the "extra_tests" setting to build_page(). It takes the name of the test,
a boolean value that represents the result of the test, text to display on true or false results, and
a flag indicating whether to bold true results.

app_lifetime_test
Creates an anonymous array of hash references that contains the results of a test for the lifetime of
an application token. The result is suitable for inclusion in "extra_tests".

last_used_test()
Creates an anonymous array of hash references that contains the results of a test for current last-
used time for a token. The result is suitable for inclusion in "extra_tests".

BUGS

       The interactions between this module and its template aren't currently completely documented.

       No one has yet used this module for anything other than the mod_webauth test suite included in the
       distribution.  It will probably need work to be usable for writing site-specific tests.
