Am having some difficulty with the FORBIDDEN_RUNMODE param when using CAP::Authorization with CA::Dispatch. All my application classes inherit from a base class where I have defined the 'forbidden' runmode (using AutoRunmode syntax). But declaring FORBIDDEN_RUNMODE => 'forbidden' in authz->config() means that for some reason the classes loaded by CA::Dispatch - which all 'use base MyApp::Base' - can't find the forbidden() rm so return my error page instead.

I suggest looking into this a bit further. At the moment that the
forbidden run mode can't be found, has it been registered in the
run_modes() hash?

It looks like it isn't. If I define FORBIDDEN_RUNMODE => 'my_forbidden_rm' in authz->config() in cgiapp_init(), and then in cgiapp_prerun():

use Data::Dumper; warn Dumper $self->run_modes();
[..]
But if I set $self->run_modes( authz_forbidden => 'my_forbidden_rm' ) in cgiapp_prerun() and then (still in cgiapp_prerun) dump $self->run_modes() immediately after:
[..]
And this time the forbidden runmode is found and returns its stuff.
[..]

More info:

For *runmodes* protected using "return $self->authz->forbidden() unless $self->authz->authorize('admin')" it works as documented.

But for *classes* protected by __PACKAGE__->authz->authz_runmodes( ':all' => 'admin' ) then only if I specifically remove FORBIDDEN_RUNMODE from authz->config() in cgiapp_init()[*], and define $self->run_modes( authz_forbidden => 'forbidden' ) in cgiapp_prerun() does my custom forbidden rm get returned. Even defining authz_forbidden in setup() doesn't suffice.

Of course removing FORBIDDEN_RUNMODE from authz->config() means the runmode-level protection returns the default 'You do not have permission to perform that action' instead of my custom page, but that's easy to get round using 'return $self->forbidden()' instead of $self->authz->forbidden().

* - otherwise it triggers the 'unknown action' page instead
