I have a question regarding authentication using
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class, that I'm sure someone here can
answer. Please excuse me, as I am a complete catalyst and DBIx::Class n00b.
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class uses the following example:
if ($c->authenticate({
screen_name => $c->req->params->{'username'},
password => $c->req->params->{'password'},
status => [ 'registered', 'active', 'loggedin']
})) {
# ... authenticated user code here
}
In this example, if the entered username and password match AND the status
column matches one of the specified values: 'registered', 'active', or
'loggedin', then the user is authenticated.
I prefer to have a list of valid statuses, and a more normalized database.
What if, in the database, we have a table of statuses, such as:
id | status
1 | registered
2 | active
3 | loggedin
...
...and we store the status id in our user model...how would I handle the
authenticate method call?
Thanks,
Mike Peck
