CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication - Authentication framework for CGI::Application
VERSION
This document describes CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication version 0.20
SYNOPSIS
package MyCGIApp;
use base qw(CGI::Application); # make sure this occurs before you load the plugin
use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;
MyCGIApp->authen->config(
DRIVER => [ 'Generic', { user1 => '123' } ],
);
MyCGIApp->authen->protected_runmodes('myrunmode');
sub myrunmode {
my $self = shift;
# The user should be logged in if we got here
my $username = $self->authen->username;
}
DESCRIPTION
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication adds the ability to authenticate users in your
CGI::Application modules. It imports one method called 'authen' into your
CGI::Application module. Through the authen method you can call all the methods of the
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication plugin.
There are two main decisions that you need to make when using this module. How will the
usernames and password be verified (i.e. from a database, LDAP, etc...), and how can we
keep the knowledge that a user has already logged in persistent, so that they will not
have to enter their credentials again on the next request (i.e. how do we 'Store' the
authentication information across requests).
Choosing a Driver
There are three drivers that are included with the distribution. Also, there is built in
support for all of the Authen::Simple modules (search CPAN for Authen::Simple for more
information). This should be enough to cover everyone's needs.
If you need to authenticate against a source that is not provided, you can use the Generic
driver which will accept either a hash of username/password pairs, or an array of arrays
of credentials, or a subroutine reference that can verify the credentials. So through the
Generic driver you should be able to write your own verification system. There is also a
Dummy driver, which blindly accepts any credentials (useful for testing). See the
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Generic,
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::DBI and,
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Dummy docs for more information on how
to use these drivers. And see the Authen::Simple suite of modules for information on
those drivers.
Choosing a Store
The Store modules keep information about the authentication status of the user persistent
across multiple requests. The information that is stored in the store include the
username, and the expiry time of the login. There are two Store modules included with
this distribution. A Session based store, and a Cookie based store. If your application
is already using Sessions (through the CGI::Application::Plugin::Session module), then I
would recommend that you use the Session store for authentication. If you are not using
the Session plugin, then you can use the Cookie store. The Cookie store keeps all the
authentication in a cookie, which contains a checksum to ensure that users can not change
the information.
If you do not specify which Store module you wish to use, the plugin will try to determine
the best one for you.
Login page
The Authentication plugin comes with a default login page that can be used if you do not
want to create a custom login page. This login form will automatically be used if you do
not provide either a LOGIN_URL or LOGIN_RUNMODE parameter in the configuration. If you
plan to create your own login page, I would recommend that you start with the HTML code
for the default login page, so that your login page will contain the correct form fields
and hidden fields.
Ticket based authentication
This Authentication plugin can handle ticket based authentication systems as well. All
that is required of you is to write a Store module that can understand the contents of the
ticket. The Authentication plugin will require at least the 'username' to be retrieved
from the ticket. A Ticket based authentication scheme will not need a Driver module at
all, since the actual verification of credentials is done by an external authentication
system, possibly even on a different host. You will need to specify the location of the
login page using the LOGIN_URL configuration variable, and unauthenticated users will
automatically be redirected to your ticket authentication login page.
EXPORTED METHODS
authen
This is the only method exported from this module. Everything is controlled through this
method call, which will return a CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication object, or just
the class name if called as a class method. When using the plugin, you will always first
call $self->authen or __PACKAGE__->authen and then the method you wish to invoke. For
example:
__PACKAGE__->authen->config(
LOGIN_RUNMODE => 'login',
);
- or -
$self->authen->protected_runmodes(qw(one two));
METHODS
config
This method is used to configure the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication module. It
can be called as an object method, or as a class method. Calling this function, will not
itself generate cookies or session ids.
The following parameters are accepted:
DRIVER
Here you can choose which authentication module(s) you want to use to perform the
authentication. For simplicity, you can leave off the
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver:: part when specifying the DRIVER
name If this module requires extra parameters, you can pass an array reference that
contains as the first parameter the name of the module, and the rest of the values in
the array will be considered options for the driver. You can provide multiple drivers
which will be used, in order, to check the credentials until a valid response is
received.
DRIVER => 'Dummy' # let anyone in regardless of the password
- or -
DRIVER => [ 'DBI',
DBH => $self->dbh,
TABLE => 'user',
CONSTRAINTS => {
'user.name' => '__CREDENTIAL_1__',
'MD5:user.password' => '__CREDENTIAL_2__'
},
],
- or -
DRIVER => [
[ 'Generic', { user1 => '123' } ],
[ 'Generic', sub { my ($u, $p) = @_; is_prime($p) ? 1 : 0 } ]
],
- or -
DRIVER => [ 'Authen::Simple::LDAP',
host => 'ldap.company.com',
basedn => 'ou=People,dc=company,dc=net'
],
STORE
Here you can choose how we store the authenticated information after a user has
successfully logged in. We need to store the username so that on the next request we
can tell the user has already logged in, and we do not have to present them with
another login form. If you do not provide the STORE option, then the plugin will look
to see if you are using the CGI::Application::Plugin::Session module and based on that
info use either the Session module, or fall back on the Cookie module. If the module
requires extra parameters, you can pass an array reference that contains as the first
parameter the name of the module, and the rest of the array should contain key value
pairs of options for this module. These storage modules generally live under the
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Store:: name-space, and this part of the
package name can be left off when specifying the STORE parameter.
STORE => 'Session'
- or -
STORE => ['Cookie',
NAME => 'MYAuthCookie',
SECRET => 'FortyTwo',
EXPIRY => '1d',
]
POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE
Here you can specify a runmode that the user will be redirected to if they
successfully login.
POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE => 'welcome'
POST_LOGIN_URL
Here you can specify a URL that the user will be redirected to if they successfully
login. If both POST_LOGIN_URL and POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE are specified, then the latter
will take precedence.
POST_LOGIN_URL => 'http://example.com/start.cgi'
POST_LOGIN_CALLBACK
A code reference that is executed after login processing but before POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE
or redirecting to POST_LOGIN_URL. This is normally a method in your CGI::Application
application and as such the CGI::Application object is passed as a parameter.
POST_LOGIN_CALLBACK => \&update_login_date
and later in your code:
sub update_login_date {
my $self = shift;
return unless($self->authen->is_authenticated);
...
}
LOGIN_RUNMODE
Here you can specify a runmode that the user will be redirected to if they need to
login.
LOGIN_RUNMODE => 'login'
LOGIN_URL
If your login page is external to this module, then you can use this option to specify
a URL that the user will be redirected to when they need to login. If both LOGIN_URL
and LOGIN_RUNMODE are specified, then the latter will take precedence.
LOGIN_URL => 'http://example.com/login.cgi'
LOGOUT_RUNMODE
Here you can specify a runmode that the user will be redirected to if they ask to
logout.
LOGOUT_RUNMODE => 'logout'
LOGOUT_URL
If your logout page is external to this module, then you can use this option to
specify a URL that the user will be redirected to when they ask to logout. If both
LOGOUT_URL and LOGOUT_RUNMODE are specified, then the latter will take precedence.
LOGIN_URL => 'http://example.com/logout.html'
DETAINT_URL_REGEXP
This is a regular expression used to detaint URLs used in the login form. By default
it will be set to
^([\w\_\%\?\&\;\-\/\@\.\+\$\=\#\:\!\*\"\'\(\)\,]+)$
This regular expression is based upon the document
http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/url-spec.txt. You could set it to a more specific
regular expression to limit the domains to which users could be directed.
DETAINT_USERNAME_REGEXP
This is a regular expression used to detaint the username parameter used in the login
form. By default it will be set to
^([\w\_]+)$
CREDENTIALS
Set this to the list of form fields where the user will type in their username and
password. By default this is set to ['authen_username', 'authen_password']. The form
field names should be set to a value that you are not likely to use in any other
forms. This is important because this plugin will automatically look for query
parameters that match these values on every request to see if a user is trying to log
in. So if you use the same parameter names on a user management page, you may
inadvertently perform a login when that was not intended. Most of the Driver modules
will return the first CREDENTIAL as the username, so make sure that you list the
username field first. This option can be ignored if you use the built in login box
CREDENTIALS => 'authen_password'
- or -
CREDENTIALS => [ 'authen_username', 'authen_domain', 'authen_password' ]
LOGIN_SESSION_TIMEOUT
This option can be used to tell the system when to force the user to re-authenticate.
There are a few different possibilities that can all be used concurrently:
IDLE_FOR
If this value is set, a re-authentication will be forced if the user was idle for
more then x amount of time.
EVERY
If this value is set, a re-authentication will be forced every x amount of time.
CUSTOM
This value can be set to a subroutine reference that returns true if the session
should be timed out, and false if it is still active. This can allow you to be
very selective about how the timeout system works. The authen object will be
passed in as the only parameter.
Time values are specified in seconds. You can also specify the time by using a number
with the following suffixes (m h d w), which represent minutes, hours, days and weeks.
The default is 0 which means the login will never timeout.
Note that the login is also dependent on the type of STORE that is used. If the
Session store is used, and the session expires, then the login will also automatically
expire. The same goes for the Cookie store.
For backwards compatibility, if you set LOGIN_SESSION_TIMEOUT to a time value instead
of a hashref, it will be treated as an IDLE_FOR time out.
# force re-authentication if idle for more than 15 minutes
LOGIN_SESSION_TIMEOUT => '15m'
# Everyone must re-authentication if idle for more than 30 minutes
# also, everyone must re-authentication at least once a day
# and root must re-authentication if idle for more than 5 minutes
LOGIN_SESSION_TIMEOUT => {
IDLE_FOR => '30m',
EVERY => '1d',
CUSTOM => sub {
my $authen = shift;
return ($authen->username eq 'root' && (time() - $authen->last_access) > 300) ? 1 : 0;
}
}
RENDER_LOGIN
This value can be set to a subroutine reference that returns the HTML of a login form.
The subroutine reference overrides the default call to login_box. The subroutine is
normally a method in your CGI::Application application and as such the
CGI::Application object is passed as the first parameter.
RENDER_LOGIN => \&login_form
and later in your code:
sub login_form {
my $self = shift;
...
return $html
}
LOGIN_FORM
You can set this option to customize the login form that is created when a user needs
to be authenticated. If you wish to replace the entire login form with a completely
custom version, then just set LOGIN_RUNMODE to point to your custom runmode.
All of the parameters listed below are optional, and a reasonable default will be used
if left blank:
DISPLAY_CLASS (default: Classic)
the class used to display the login form. The alternative is "Basic" which aims
for XHTML compliance and leaving style to CSS. See
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Display for more details.
TITLE (default: Sign In)
the heading at the top of the login box
USERNAME_LABEL (default: User Name)
the label for the user name input
PASSWORD_LABEL (default: Password)
the label for the password input
SUBMIT_LABEL (default: Sign In)
the label for the submit button
COMMENT (default: Please enter your username and password in the fields below.)
a message provided on the first login attempt
REMEMBERUSER_OPTION (default: 1)
provide a checkbox to offer to remember the users name in a cookie so that their
user name will be pre-filled the next time they log in
REMEMBERUSER_LABEL (default: Remember User Name)
the label for the remember user name checkbox
REMEMBERUSER_COOKIENAME (default: CAPAUTHTOKEN)
the name of the cookie where the user name will be saved
REGISTER_URL (default: <none>)
the URL for the register new account link
REGISTER_LABEL (default: Register Now!)
the label for the register new account link
FORGOTPASSWORD_URL (default: <none>)
the URL for the forgot password link
FORGOTPASSWORD_LABEL (default: Forgot Password?)
the label for the forgot password link
INVALIDPASSWORD_MESSAGE (default: Invalid username or password<br />(login attempt %d)
a message given when a login failed
INCLUDE_STYLESHEET (default: 1)
use this to disable the built in style-sheet for the login box so you can provide
your own custom styles
FORM_SUBMIT_METHOD (default: post)
use this to get the form to submit using 'get' instead of 'post'
FOCUS_FORM_ONLOAD (default: 1)
use this to automatically focus the login form when the page loads so a user can
start typing right away.
BASE_COLOUR (default: #445588)
This is the base colour that will be used in the included login box. All other
colours are automatically calculated based on this colour (unless you hardcode the
colour values). In order to calculate other colours, you will need the
Color::Calc module. If you do not have the Color::Calc module, then you will need
to use fixed values for all of the colour options. All colour values besides the
BASE_COLOUR can be simple percentage values (including the % sign). For example
if you set the LIGHTER_COLOUR option to 80%, then the calculated colour will be
80% lighter than the BASE_COLOUR.
LIGHT_COLOUR (default: 50% or #a2aac4)
A colour that is lighter than the base colour.
LIGHTER_COLOUR (default: 75% or #d0d5e1)
A colour that is another step lighter than the light colour.
DARK_COLOUR (default: 30% or #303c5f)
A colour that is darker than the base colour.
DARKER_COLOUR (default: 60% or #1b2236)
A colour that is another step darker than the dark colour.
GREY_COLOUR (default: #565656)
A grey colour that is calculated by desaturating the base colour.
protected_runmodes
This method takes a list of runmodes that are to be protected by authentication. If a
user tries to access one of these runmodes, then they will be redirected to a login page
unless they are properly logged in. The runmode names can be a list of simple strings,
regular expressions, or special directives that start with a colon. This method is
cumulative, so if it is called multiple times, the new values are added to existing
entries. It returns a list of all entries that have been saved so far. Calling this
function, will not itself generate cookies or session ids.
:all - All runmodes in this module will require authentication
# match all runmodes
__PACKAGE__->authen->protected_runmodes(':all');
# only protect runmodes one two and three
__PACKAGE__->authen->protected_runmodes(qw(one two three));
# protect only runmodes that start with auth_
__PACKAGE__->authen->protected_runmodes(qr/^auth_/);
# protect all runmodes that *do not* start with public_
__PACKAGE__->authen->protected_runmodes(qr/^(?!public_)/);
is_protected_runmode
This method accepts the name of a runmode, and will tell you if that runmode is a
protected runmode (i.e. does a user need to be authenticated to access this runmode).
Calling this function, will not itself generate cookies or session ids.
redirect_after_login
This method is be called during the prerun stage to redirect the user to the page that has
been configured as the destination after a successful login. The location is determined
as follows:
POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE
If the POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE config parameter is set, that run mode will be the chosen
location.
POST_LOGIN_URL
If the above fails and the POST_LOGIN_URL config parameter is set, then there will be
a 302 redirection to that location.
destination
If the above fails and there is a destination query parameter, which must a taint
check against the DETAINT_URL_REGEXP config parameter, then there will be a 302
redirection to that location.
original destination
If all the above fail then there the originally requested page will be delivered.
redirect_to_login
This method is be called during the prerun stage if the current user is not logged in, and
they are trying to access a protected runmode. It will redirect to the page that has been
configured as the login page, based on the value of LOGIN_RUNMODE or LOGIN_URL If nothing
is configured a simple login page will be automatically provided.
redirect_to_logout
This method is called during the prerun stage if the user has requested to be logged out.
It will redirect to the page that has been configured as the logout page, based on the
value of LOGOUT_RUNMODE or LOGOUT_URL If nothing is configured, the page will redirect to
the website homepage.
setup_runmodes
This method is called during the prerun stage to register some custom runmodes that the
Authentication plugin requires in order to function. Calling this function, will not
itself generate cookies or session ids.
last_login
This will return return the time of the last login for this user
my $last_login = $self->authen->last_login;
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
last_access
This will return return the time of the last access for this user
my $last_access = $self->authen->last_access;
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
is_login_timeout
This will return true or false depending on whether the users login status just timed out
$self->add_message('login session timed out') if $self->authen->is_login_timeout;
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
is_authenticated
This will return true or false depending on the login status of this user
assert($self->authen->is_authenticated); # The user should be logged in if we got here
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
login_attempts
This method will return the number of failed login attempts have been made by this user
since the last successful login. This is not a number that can be trusted, as it is
dependent on the underlying store to be able to return the correct value for this user.
For example, if the store uses a cookie based session, the user trying to login could
delete their cookies, and hence get a new session which will not have any login attempts
listed. The number will be cleared upon a successful login. This function will initiate
a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
username
This will return the username of the currently logged in user, or undef if no user is
currently logged in.
my $username = $self->authen->username;
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
is_new_login
This will return true or false depending on if this is a fresh login
$self->log->info("New Login") if $self->authen->is_new_login;
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
credentials
This method will return the names of the form parameters that will be looked for during a
login. By default they are authen_username and authen_password, but these values can be
changed by supplying the CREDENTIALS parameters in the configuration. Calling this
function, will not itself generate cookies or session ids.
logout
This will attempt to logout the user. If during a request the Authentication module sees
a parameter called 'authen_logout', it will automatically call this method to log out the
user.
$self->authen->logout();
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
drivers
This method will return a list of driver objects that are used for verifying the login
credentials. Calling this function, will not itself generate cookies or session ids.
store
This method will return a store object that is used to store information about the status
of the authentication across multiple requests. This function will initiate a session or
cookie if one has not been created already.
initialize
This does most of the heavy lifting for the Authentication plugin. It will check to see
if the user is currently attempting to login by looking for the credential form fields in
the query object. It will load the required driver objects and authenticate the user. It
is OK to call this method multiple times as it checks to see if it has already been
executed and will just return without doing anything if called multiple times. This
allows us to call initialize as late as possible in the request so that no unnecessary
work is done.
The user will be logged out by calling the "logout()" method if the login session has been
idle for too long, if it has been too long since the last login, or if the login has timed
out. If you need to know if a user was logged out because of a time out, you can call the
"is_login_timeout" method.
If all goes well, a true value will be returned, although it is usually not necessary to
check.
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
display
This method will return the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Display object,
creating and caching it if necessary.
login_box
This method will return the HTML for a login box that can be embedded into another page.
This is the same login box that is used in the default authen_login runmode that the
plugin provides.
This function will initiate a session or cookie if one has not been created already.
new
This method creates a new CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication object. It requires as
it's only parameter a CGI::Application object. This method should never be called
directly, since the 'authen' method that is imported into the CGI::Application module will
take care of creating the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication object when it is
required. Calling this function, will not itself generate cookies or session ids.
instance
This method works the same way as 'new', except that it returns the same Authentication
object for the duration of the request. This method should never be called directly,
since the 'authen' method that is imported into the CGI::Application module will take care
of creating the CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication object when it is required.
Calling this function, will not itself generate cookies or session ids.
CGI::Application CALLBACKS
prerun_callback
This method is a CGI::Application prerun callback that will be automatically registered
for you if you are using CGI::Application 4.0 or greater. If you are using an older
version of CGI::Application you will have to create your own cgiapp_prerun method and make
sure you call this method from there.
sub cgiapp_prerun {
my $self = shift;
$self->CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::prerun_callback();
}
CGI::Application RUNMODES
authen_login_runmode
This runmode is provided if you do not want to create your own login runmode. It will
display a simple login form for the user, which can be replaced by assigning RENDER_LOGIN
a coderef that returns the HTML.
authen_dummy_redirect
This runmode is provided for convenience when an external redirect needs to be done. It
just returns an empty string.
EXAMPLE
In a CGI::Application module:
use base qw(CGI::Application);
use CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode;
use CGI::Application::Plugin::Session;
use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;
__PACKAGE__->authen->config(
DRIVER => [ 'Generic', { user1 => '123' } ],
STORE => 'Session',
LOGOUT_RUNMODE => 'start',
);
__PACKAGE__->authen->protected_runmodes(qr/^auth_/, 'one');
sub start : RunMode {
my $self = shift;
}
sub one : RunMode {
my $self = shift;
# The user will only get here if they are logged in
}
sub auth_two : RunMode {
my $self = shift;
# This is also protected because of the
# regexp call to protected_runmodes above
}
COMPATIBILITY WITH CGI::Application::Plugin::ActionDispatch
The prerun callback has been modified so that it will check for the presence of a prerun
mode. This is for compatibility with CGI::Application::Plugin::ActionDispatch. This
change should be considered experimental. It is necessary to load the ActionDispatch
module so that the two prerun callbacks will be called in the correct order.
RECOMMENDED USAGE
CSS The best practice nowadays is generally considered to be to not have CSS embedded in
HTML. Thus it should be best to set LOGIN_FORM -> DISPLAY_CLASS to 'Basic'.
Post login destination
Of the various means of selecting a post login destination the most secure would seem
to be POST_LOGIN_URL. The "destination" parameter could potentially be hijacked by
hackers. The POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE parameter requires a hidden parameter that could
potentially be hijacked.
Taint mode
Do run your code under taint mode. It should help protect your application against a
number of attacks.
URL and username checking
Please set the "DETAINT_URL_REGEXP" and "DETAINT_USERNAME_REGEXP" parameters as
tightly as possible. In particular you should prevent the destination parameter being
used to redirect authenticated users to external sites; unless of course that is what
you want in which case that site should be the only possible external site.
The login form
The HTML currently generated does not seem to be standards compliant as per RT bug
58023. Also the default login form includes hidden forms which could conceivably be
hijacked. Set LOGIN_FORM -> DISPLAY_CLASS to 'Basic' to fix this.
TODO
There are lots of things that can still be done to improve this plugin. If anyone else is
interested in helping out feel free to dig right in. Many of these things don't need my
input, but if you want to avoid duplicated efforts, send me a note, and I'll let you know
of anyone else is working in the same area.
review the code for security bugs and report
complete the separation of presentation and logic
write a tutorial
build more Drivers (Class::DBI, LDAP, Radius, etc...)
Add support for method attributes to identify runmodes that require authentication
finish the test suite
provide more example code
clean up the documentation
build a DB driver that builds it's own table structure. This can be used by people that
don't have their own user database to work with, and could include a simple user
management application.
BUGS
This is alpha software and as such, the features and interface are subject to change. So
please check the Changes file when upgrading.
Some of the test scripts appear to be incompatible with versions of Devel::Cover later
than 0.65.
