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.

CONFIGURATION

           # example
           <Plugin::Authentication>
               <nopassword>
                   <credential>
                       class = NoPassword
                   </credential>
                   <store>
                       class = DBIx::Class
                       user_model = DB::User
                       role_relation = roles
                       role_field = name
                   </store>
               </nopassword>
           </Plugin::Authentication>
