My password field is called "password", so i left it out of the config, because
the
docs say that this is the default and therefore unnecessary.
I thought that the id_field was the name of the id; i do have an id value,
but of course the user just enters a name, not their database id.
In any case I changed the config to:
__PACKAGE__->config->{'Plugin::Authentication'} = {
default_realm => 'dbic',
realms => {
dbic => {
credential => {
class => 'Password',
password_field => 'password',
password_type => 'clear'
},
store => {
class => 'DBIx::Class',
user_class => 'CiteEditorDB::User',
id_field => 'login'
}
}
}
};
(Sorry about the indentation, its not cut-and-pasting well.)
And i have the same result--"[debug] Unable to locate user matching user info
provided"
in my log.
Anything else i can try? Thank you!

Hi Jennifer,
Looks like you are missing the "password_field" config parameter:
http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10006/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Credential/Password.pm#CONFIGURATION
Also, you need to have the "id_field" set in your store
configuration:
http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBIx-Class-0.104/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Store/DBIx/Class.pm#CONFIGURATION
That would be the name of your username field in your MyDB::User class.
