Gantry::Control::C::AuthzBase(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Gantry::Control::C::AuthzBase(3)

Gantry::Control::C::AuthzBase - Database based authorization.

  use Gantry::Control::C::AuthzSubClass qw/-Engine=MP20/;

This is a simple database driven autorization system. This module also details the other Authz modules in the library. There are two subclasses: Gantry::Control::C::AuthzRegular and Gantry::Control::C::AuthzCDBI. Use CDBI if you use Class::DBI (or anything descended from it), otherwise use Regular.

Sample Apache conf configuration.

  <Perl>
     use Gantry::Control::C::Authz qw/-Engine=MP20/;
  </Perl>
  
  <Location /location/to/auth >
    AuthType    Basic
    AuthName    "Manual"

    PerlSetVar  auth_dbconn     'dbi:Pg:dbname=...'
    PerlSetVar  auth_dbuser     '<database_user>'
    PerlSetVar  auth_dbpass     '<database_password>'
    
    PerlSetVar  auth_dbcommit   off

    PerlAuthzHandler  Gantry::Control::C::AuthzSubclass

    require     group "group_to_require"
  </Location>

Pick an AuthzSubclass, see the DESCRIPTION for advice.

These are the tables that will be queried for the authorization of the user.

  create table "auth_users" (
    "id"            int4 default nextval('auth_users_seq') NOT NULL,
    "user_id"       int4,
    "active"        bool,

    "ident"         varchar,
    "name"          varchar,
    "description"   text
  );

  create table "auth_group_members" (
    "id"        int4 default nextval('auth_group_members_seq') NOT NULL,
    "user_id"   int4,
    "group_id"  int4    
  );

  create table "auth_pages" (
    "id"          int4 default nextval('auth_pages_seq') NOT NULL,
    "user_perm"   int4,
    "group_perm"  int4,
    "owner_id"    int4,
