Also - before I forget - I am interested in hearing about any errors / configs that were broken, but produced confusing and/or unhelpful messaging about why they were broken.

Hi All, Some folks have mentioned recently that the Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication system while being quite flexible is somewhat difficult to understand / set up initially. I am soliciting comments regarding the issues that people have had and what changes people would like to see. Better messaging, differences in config format... whatever you are interested in, speak up. I'm going to take the input I receive in this thread into consideration as I do some updates to the modules over the coming weeks. I'm not promising a rewrite of the auth module by any stretch, but I would like to know the 'gotchas' that people have encountered, and any areas that folks feel could be improved. Note that I'm talking about the core Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication module - not the various (separately packaged) credentials, stores, etc. The exception to that is the DBIx::Class store - since I maintain that and I think it's also the one that is most often used, feel free to chime in with your complaints / concerns there. One of the things that I am planning to do is to create a 'simpledb' pre-packaged realm - that will make the 'normal' case of encrypted password + DB user storage a bit simpler to config. (For those who are interested, pre-packaged realms are simply replacement realm classes which can handle configuring their store / credential on their own... which allows for drastically simplified Cat configs) If anyone has comments on what a 'simple config' might look like, let's hear them. So, all that said, If you feel like there are improvements you'd like to see, simplifications to be made, etc... now is your chance. Speak now or expect a good solid ignore when I'm done and you say 'but I wanted....' ;-) JayK _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
