NAME

Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll - accept any passphrase

SYNOPSIS

use Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll;

$ppr = Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll->new;

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.

CONSTRUCTOR

Authen::Passphrase::AcceptAll->new

Returns an accept-all passphrase recogniser object. The same object is returned from each call.

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).
