NAME

    Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::DBIC - authenticate via
    the Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC plugin

DESCRIPTION

    This class is an authentication provider designed to authenticate users
    against a database, using Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC to access a database.

    See Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC for how to configure a database connection
    appropriately; see the "CONFIGURATION" section below for how to
    configure this authentication provider with database details.

    See Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible for details on how to use the
    authentication framework.

CONFIGURATION

    This provider tries to use sensible defaults, in the same manner as
    Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::Database, so you may not
    need to provide much configuration if your database tables look similar
    to those.

    The most basic configuration, assuming defaults for all options, and
    defining a single authentication realm named 'users':

        plugins:
            Auth::Extensible:
                realms:
                    users:
                        provider: 'DBIC'

    You would still need to have provided suitable database connection
    details to Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC, of course; see the docs for that
    plugin for full details, but it could be as simple as, e.g.:

        plugins:
            Auth::Extensible:
                realms:
                    users:
                        provider: 'DBIC'
            DBIC:
                default:
                    dsn: dbi:mysql:database=mydb;host=localhost
                    schema_class: MyApp::Schema
                    user: user
                    pass: secret

    A full example showing all options:

        plugins:
            Auth::Extensible:
                realms:
                    users:
                        provider: 'DBIC'
    
                        # Optionally specify the sources of the data if not the
                        # defaults (as shown).  See notes below for how these
                        # generate the resultset names.  If you use standard DBIC
                        # resultset names, then these and the column names are the
                        # only settings you might need.  The relationships between
                        # these resultsets is automatically introspected by
                        # inspection of the schema.
                        users_source: 'user'
                        roles_source: 'role'
                        user_roles_source: 'user_role'
    
                        # optionally set the column names
                        users_username_column: username
                        users_password_column: password
                        roles_role_column: role
    
                        # This plugin supports the DPAE record_lastlogin functionality.
                        # Optionally set the column name:
                        users_lastlogin_column: lastlogin
    
                        # Optionally set columns for user_password functionality in
                        # Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible
                        users_pwresetcode_column: pw_reset_code
                        users_pwchanged_column:   # Time of reset column. No default.
    
                        # Days after which passwords expire. See logged_in_user_password_expired
                        # functionality in Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible
                        password_expiry_days:       # No default
    
                        # Optionally set the name of the DBIC schema
                        schema_name: myschema
    
                        # Optionally set additional conditions when searching for the
                        # user in the database. These are the same format as required
                        # by DBIC, and are passed directly to the DBIC resultset search
                        user_valid_conditions:
                            deleted: 0
                            account_request:
                                "<": 1
    
                        # Optionally specify a key for the user's roles to be returned in.
                        # Roles will be returned as role_name => 1 hashref pairs
                        roles_key: roles
    
                        # Optionally specify the algorithm when encrypting new passwords
                        encryption_algorithm: SHA-512
    
                        # If you don't use standard DBIC resultset names, you might
                        # need to configure these instead:
                        users_resultset: User
                        roles_resultset: Role
                        user_roles_resultset: UserRole
    
                        # Deprecated settings. The following settings were renamed for clarity
                        # to the *_source settings, although they can still be used. There is
                        # no plan to remove them.
                        users_table:
                        roles_table:
                        user_roles_table:

    user_source

      Specifies the source name that contains the users. This will be
      camelized to generate the resultset name. The relationship to
      user_roles_source will be introspected from the schema.

    role_source

      Specifies the source name that contains the roles. This will be
      camelized to generate the resultset name. The relationship to
      user_roles_source will be introspected from the schema.

    user_roles_source

      Specifies the source name that contains the user_roles joining table.
      This will be camelized to generate the resultset name. The
      relationship to the user and role source will be introspected from
      the schema.

    users_username_column

      Specifies the column name of the username column in the users table

    users_password_column

      Specifies the column name of the password column in the users table

    roles_role_column

      Specifies the column name of the role name column in the roles table

    schema_name

      Specfies the name of the Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC schema to use. If not
      specified, will default in the same manner as the DBIC plugin.

    user_valid_conditions

      Specifies additional search parameters when looking up a user in the
      users table. For example, you might want to exclude any account this
      is flagged as deleted or disabled.

      The value of this parameter will be passed directly to DBIC as a
      search condition. It is therefore possible to nest parameters and use
      different operators for the condition. See the example config above
      for an example.

    roles_key

      Specifies a key for the returned user hash to also return the user's
      roles in. The value of this key will contain a hash ref, which will
      contain each permission with a value of 1. In your code you might
      then have:

          my $user = logged_in_user;
          return foo_bar($user);
      
          sub foo_bar
          {   my $user = shift;
              if ($user->{roles}->{beer_drinker}) {
                 ...
              }
          }

      This isn't intended to replace the "user_has_role" in
      Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible keyword. Instead it is intended to
      make it easier to access a user's roles if the user hash is being
      passed around (without requiring access to the user_has_role keyword
      in other modules).

    users_resultset

    roles_resultset

    user_roles_resultset

      These configuration values are provided for fine-grain tuning of your
      DBIC resultset names. If you use standard DBIC naming practices, you
      will not need to configure these, and they will be generated
      internally automatically.

SUGGESTED SCHEMA

    Please see Schema1 in the tests directory for a suggested schema.

    If producing a schema from scratch, it is recommended that the default
    resultset and column names are used, as per the default configuration.
