 I can't see anything in the docs or list archive about how to set this
 in the configuration - and it looks like only 'Authentication' should
 be listed in the Cat plugin import list.

Don't the docs say it'll search the old namespace if it can't find anything
in the new one?

I just came across LCatalyst::Plugin::Authentication/COMPATIBILITY
ROUTINES a couple of minutes ago.
I can use the old store package, but have to use the old auth methods,
and I lose the new realms feature.

Rather than use the legacy features on a new app, I'm just going to
write a new Htpasswd store that uses the new auth API.

Thanks,
Carl

[Catalyst] using legacy auth stores with new auth system

2008-02-04 Thread Carl Franks
Can the old Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::* modules be used with the
new Catalyst::Authentication system?

I can't see anything in the docs or list archive about how to set this
in the configuration - and it looks like only 'Authentication' should
be listed in the Cat plugin import list.

I'm wanting to add auth to an existing app that currently doesn't use
any auth or sessions yet - and I'd be wanting to use
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Htpasswd

I notice all the plugin::* modules in the new Catalyst::Authentication
dist are just wrappers around the newer modules.
Would I need to create a Catalyst::Authentication::Store::Htpasswd
that's just a wrapper around the older module? (or, ideally, the other
way around, if the current maintainer is agreeable).
