Is there a hook in AuthCookie to allow me to run some code only right after successful login? The model doesn't seem to allow for this. The way it seems to work is you attempt to log in, if it doesn't find a valid cookie, it displays the login form again. You submit that and it sets the cookie without authenticating the login, then issues a redirect to the page the user was originally trying to go to. When the browser comes back via the redirect, the cookie is already present, and only then does AuthCookie attempt to authenticate the cookie.
Since the authentication happens on every trip into the server, and I don't want to run my code (to set up an Apache::Session for the user's session data) until I'm sure I have a valid user on my hands, I can't see a way to do the session setup only the first time after a sucessful login. It would seem wasteful to check for the presence of the Apache::Session object every trip to the server just to determine if this is the first request or not. Is there a hook or a flag with that same functionality? Thanks, Fran
