Good morning,
I am about to create a plugin to use mod_auth_tkt for authentication,
but just wanted to check that no one else has done one before I start.
And I'm still on my Catalyst learning curve, so if there are any HOWTOs
or tutorials on writing authentication plugins, I would love to know
about them.
In case anyone wants to know why I'm using mod_auth_tkt, I'm porting an
old app to Catalyst. And the app has apache frontend process (mod_perl
backend) which needs to protect static content. If you have other
suggestions for protecting static content in frontend apache that works
well with Catalyst, I'm happy to look at alternatives to mod_auth_tkt.
Thanks,
Charlie
PS. Is there any interest from others for this plugin? I will be happy
to share if there is.
I also use mod_auth_tkt. I submitted a patch to the author several weeks ago
that makes it easier to get at the internal cookie values via Apache::AuthTkt.
You might want to post to that list and nudge him to release a new version to
CPAN. It'll probably make your plugin much easier to write.
Are you planning this plugin to work with the existing Session::* stuff?
