NAME¶
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Display::Basic - XHTML compliant no
frills login display driver
VERSION¶
This document describes CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Display::Basic
version 0.20
DESCRIPTION¶
This module provides a login box that works out of the box but which can be
configured to modify the styling.
METHODS¶
new¶
The constructor must be passed the CGI::Application object as the first
non-object argument.
login_box¶
This method will return the HTML for a login box that can be embedded into
another page. This is the same login box that is used in the default
authen_login runmode that the plugin provides. Note that if somehow this
method is run, whilst the user is authenticated, it will croak.
You can set this option to customize the login form that is created when a user
needs to be authenticated. If you wish to replace the entire login form with a
completely custom version, then just set LOGIN_RUNMODE to point to your custom
runmode.
All of the parameters listed below are optional, and a reasonable default will
be used if left blank:
- TITLE (default: Sign In)
- the heading at the top of the login box
- USERNAME_LABEL (default: User Name)
- the label for the user name input
- PASSWORD_LABEL (default: Password)
- the label for the password input
- SUBMIT_LABEL (default: Sign In)
- the label for the submit button
- COMMENT (default: Please enter your username and password in the fields
below.)
- a message provided on the first login attempt
- REMEMBERUSER_OPTION (default: 1)
- provide a checkbox to offer to remember the users name in a cookie so that
their user name will be pre-filled the next time they log in
- REMEMBERUSER_LABEL (default: Remember User Name)
- the label for the remember user name checkbox
- REMEMBERUSER_COOKIENAME (default: CAPAUTHTOKEN)
- the name of the cookie where the user name will be saved
- REGISTER_URL (default: <none>)
- the URL for the register new account link
- REGISTER_LABEL (default: Register Now!)
- the label for the register new account link
- FORGOTPASSWORD_URL (default: <none>)

- INVALIDPASSWORD_MESSAGE (default: Invalid username or password<br
