Hi, At work we use, among other things, the value of REMOTE_USER in the request environment to authenticate users using our single-sign on system. We access this via $c->req->user, which the various engines set using the data available to them.
However, Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication->set_authenticate overrides this value with the blessed user object in addition to setting $c->user. Looking at the commit logs, it looks like this has been true since 2005 but I'm having a hard time finding a reason why. Also, Catalyst::Request lists $c->req->user as deprecated. If it were to be removed, how would one access the value in an engine-agnostic way? -- Daniel Westermann-Clark _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
