NAME PlugAuth::Plugin::DBIAuth - DBI Authentication back end for PlugAuth VERSION version 0.05 SYNOPSIS In your PlugAuth.conf file: --- plugins: - PlugAuth::Plugin::DBIAuth: db: dsn: 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=/path/to/dbfile.sqlite' user: '' pass: '' sql: init: 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (username VARCHAR UNIQUE, password VARCHAR)' check_credentials: 'SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = ?' all_users: 'SELECT username FROM users' DESCRIPTION This plugin provides an authentication mechanism for PlugAuth using any database supported by DBI as a backend. It is configured as above, with two hashes, db and sql. encryption Specifies the encryption method to use. This is only used when creating new users, or changing their passwords. Existing passwords will remain in their existing formats and will be decrypted automatically in the correct format. If provided, must be one of: * unix Traditional UNIX crypt() * unix_md5 UNIX MD5 * apache_md5 [ default ] Apache MD5 db The db hash provides the required parameters for the plugin needed to connect to the database. dsn The DNS passed into DBI. See the documentation for your database driver for the exact format (DBD::SQLite, DBD::Pg, DBD::mysql ... ). user The database user. pass The database password. sql The sql hash provides SQL statements which are executed for each operation. They are all optional. The examples shown here assumes a simple table with usernames and passwords: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users ( username VARCHAR UNIQUE, password VARCHAR ); init Arbitrary SQL executed when the plugin is started. check_credentials The SQL statement used to fetch the encrypted password of a user. The username is the first bind value when executed. Example: SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = ? all_users The SQL statement used to fetch the list of users. Example: SELECT username FROM users create_user The SQL statement used to create a new user. Example: INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES (?,?) change_password The SQL statement used to change the password of an existing user. Example: UPDATE users SET password = ?
