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 names of tables if they're not the defaults # (defaults are 'users', 'roles' and 'user_roles') users_table: 'users' roles_table: 'roles' user_roles_table: 'user_roles' # optionally set the column names users_username_column: 'username' users_password_column: 'password' roles_role_column: 'role' See the main Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible documentation for how to configure multiple authentication realms. SUGGESTED SCHEMA See the Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::Database documentation for an example schema.
