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).
