Hi,
there's already C::A::Store::LDAP to authenticate users against LDAP
servers. This module fetches a user from LDAP and checks his password
(if you told C::A::Credential::Password password_type => self_check).
In most of my apps i don't want to fetch the user from LDAP whereas i
just want to check his password against LDAP. The user, his roles and
preferences are stored in a database. So i use
C::A::Store::DBIx::Class to retrieve a user from the store and a
custom C::A::Credential::LDAP to verify his password.
Maybe this setup is used by someone else too and above all
C::A::Credential::LDAP is useful?
If that's the case i'll put it on CPAN - what do you think?
Sounds useful.
Also, somewhat apropos, I have a
C::A::{Store,Credential}::ActiveDirectory that I based on the LDAP
stuff. The LDAP modules didn't work for me because they want to bind
anonymously and retrieve the crypted password, whereas AD just wants to
authenticate with a bind. My stuff also gets role information from AD
groups. I've been meaning to get it out on CPAN one of these days, but
it hasn't been a priority; I suppose I can work on it if anyone else
needs it though.
