CGI::Builder::Auth::UserAdmin 0.06

CGI::Builder::Auth::UserAdmin is a Perl module for the management of HTTP server user databases.

SYNOPSIS

use CGI::Builder::Auth::UserAdmin ();

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! Move along, nothing to see here!

This module was originally part of the HTTPD-User-Manage collection, which is available on CPAN. If you want to use it, go download that package. This module is used as part of the internal implementation of CGI::Builder::Auth. The original documentation is preserved here in this release for historical purposes. The software has been hacked and this documentation is not guaranteed to be correct. The module may disappear from the CGI::Builder::Auth distribution in a future release. Do not use it directly or rely on it.
This software is meant to provide a generic interface that hides the inconsistencies across HTTP server implementations of user and group databases.

METHODS

new ()

Heres where we find out whats different about your server.

Some examples:

@DBM = (DBType => DBM,
DB => .htpasswd,
Server => apache);

$user = new CGI::Builder::Auth::UserAdmin @DBM;

This creates an object whos database is a DBM file named .htpasswd, in a format that the Apache server understands.

@Text = (DBType => Text,
DB => .htpasswd,
Server => ncsa);

$user = new CGI::Builder::Auth::UserAdmin @Text;

This creates an object whose database is a plain text file named .htpasswd, in a format that the NCSA server understands.

@SQL = (DBType => "SQL",
Host => "", #server hostname
Port => "", #server port
DB => "www", #database name
User => "", #database login name
Auth => "", #database login password
Encrypt => "crypt", #encryption method
Driver => "mSQL", #driver for DBI
Server => "apache", #HTTP server type, not required
UserTable => "www-users", #table with field names below
NameField => "user", #field for the name
PasswordField => "password", #field for the password
);

$user = new CGI::Builder::Auth::UserAdmin @SQL;

This creates an object whos mSQL database is named www, with a schema that the Apache server (extention) understands.
