  /;

__PACKAGE__->config->{authentication}{users} = {

DESCRIPTION

This authentication store plugin lets you create a very quick and dirty user database in your application's config hash.

You will need to include the Authentication plugin, and at least one Credential plugin to use this Store. Credential::Password is reccommended.

It's purpose is mainly for testing, and it should probably be replaced by a more "serious" store for production.

The hash in the config, as well as the user objects/hashes are freely mutable at runtime.

CONFIGURATION

users

This is a simple hash of users, the keys are the usenames, and the values are hashrefs containing a password key/value pair, and optionally, a roles/list of role-names pair. If using roles, you will also need to add the Authorization::Roles plugin.

See the SYNOPSIS for an example.

INTERNAL METHODS

setup

This method will popultate $c->config->{authentication}{store} so that "default_auth_store" in Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication can use it.
