NAME

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

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.
