Hey Steve,

I do this in my app.  The way I do is it I have two authentication realms - LDAP and 
DBIC.  I authenticate against the LDAP realm first, and if that is successful I do a 
find_or_create with the user info on my user DB table, so any first-time users get a 
user created in the DBIC realm with default roles and whatnot.  Then I authenticate 
against the DBIC realm.  I do that last because $c->user will contain the most 
recently authenticated user, so in this case $c->user would be your DB::Staff 
object.

Thanks for the response. Makes perfect sense, but I'm having a problem with the call to $c->authenticate when I add the realm. $c->authenticate({ username => $username, password => $password }, 'ldap') throws an error about not using a string as HASH ref (I've got my ldap settings under realms -> ldap). Using $c->authenticate({ username => $username, password => $password, realm => $realm }) seems to work, except it's not authenticating correctly and seems to use dbic by default when I don't have a default realm set (I set $realm = 'ldap' before the auth call).
What syntax are using?

Many thanks,
Steve
