Many thanks, Tomas, just what I needed. Right now I'm still on 5.7 due
to an immediate release, but next week I'll go to 5.8, and then I'll be
happy to review and test a better solution. Credential::Remote looks
like what I didn't find. When I started working with this authentication
issue, I wouldn't even have understood Credential::Remote type code, but
by Monday I'll be better placed and have time enough to give it a
thorough test.
All the best

Doh, you appear to have duplicated a chunk of effort:
http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/branches/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication/credential_remote/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Credential/Remote.pm
Is there another simple but better way to achieve this? Ideally one
which avoids the deprecated $c->request->user. I'm only starting to
use Catalyst for authentication stuff.
Not at the moment / in a released state.
The next Catalyst release will add $c->req->remote_user for this.
There is currently a failing test (for a bug which has been in
Catalyst forever) in trunk, and I'm hoping to get this fixed before we
release 5.80005.
I'm also going to be reviewing / merging this branch of
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication soonish (which I'm seriously late on
already)!
So to answer your actual question, yes, what you're doing is the right
thing to do, and will be present in 'officially released' software
within the next couple of weeks max hopefully.
If you fancy reviewing the code I linked about, and trying it out to
see if it works for you, and commenting on anything you think needs
work (including documentation!), then that would be a great help :)
Cheers
