NAME

Rubric::WebApp::Login::Post - process web login from query parameters

VERSION

version 0.157

DESCRIPTION

This module checks the submitted query for information needed to confirm that a user is logged into the Rubric.

PERL VERSION

This code is effectively abandonware. Although releases will sometimes be made to update contact info or to fix packaging flaws, bug reports will mostly be ignored. Feature requests are even more likely to be ignored. (If someone takes up maintenance of this code, they will presumably remove this notice.) This means that whatever version of perl is currently required is unlikely to change -- but also that it might change at any new maintainer's whim.

METHODS

get_login_username

This checks for the username in a current login request. First it checks whether there is a current_user value in this session. If not, it looks for a user query parameter.

authenticate_login($webapp, $user)

This returns true if the username came from the session. Otherwise, it checks for a password query parameter and compares its md5sum against the user's stored password md5sum.

set_current_user($webapp, $user)

This method sets the current user in the session and then calls the superclass set_current_user.
