NAME
    Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::TypeKey - TypeKey
    Authentication for Catalyst.

SYNOPSIS
        use Catalyst qw/Authentication::Credential::TypeKey/;

        MyApp->config->{authentication}{typekey} = {
            token => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
        };

        sub foo : Local {
                    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

                    if ( $c->authenticate_typekey ) {

                    # you can also specify the params manually: $c->authenticate_typekey(
                    #       name => $name,
                    #       email => $email,
                    #       ...
                    #)

                            # successful autentication

                            $c->user; # this is set
                    }
            }

            sub auto : Private {
                    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

                    $c->authenticate_typekey; # uses $c->req

                    return 1;
            }

DESCRIPTION
    This module integrates Authen::TypeKey with
    Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication.

METHODS
   authenticate_typekey $user_object, %parameters
   authenticate_typekey %parameters
   authenticate_typekey { ... parameters ... }
   authenticate_typekey
    This method performs the actual authentication. It's pretty complicated.

    Any configuration field (this plugin's configuration, e.g. "user_class",
    as well as any Authen::TypeKey configuration fields, e.g. "token", etc)
    can be in %parameters. This will clone the configured typekey object if
    needed and set the fields locally for this call only.

    All other fields are assumed to be typekey credentials.

    If a user object is provided it will be asked for it's typekey
    credentials and then authenticated against the server keys.

    If there are no typekey credentials in the paramters or the user object,
    the credentials will be taken from "$c->request".

    If a user object exists and is authenticated correctly it will be marked
    as authenticated. If no such object exists but "auth_store" is provided
    (or configured) then it will attempt to retrieve a user from that store
    using the "name" typekey credential field. If no "auth_store" is
    configured or a user was not found in that store "user_class" is used to
    create a temporary user using the parameters as fields.

   last_typekey_object
    The last typekey object used for authentication. This is useful if you
    use overrides or need to check errors.

   last_typekey_error
    This is "$c->last_typekey_object->errstr"

   EXTENDED METHODS
   setup
    Fills the config with defaults.

CONFIGURATION
    "<$c-"config->{autentication}{typekey}>> is a hash with these fields
    (all can be left out):

    typekey_object
        If this field does not exist an Authen::TypeKey object will be
        created based on the other param and put here.

    expires
    key_url
    token
    version
        See Authen::TypeKey for all of these. If they aren't specified
        Authen::TypeKey's defaults will be used.

    key_cache
        Also see Authen::TypeKey.

        Defaults to "regkeys.txt" under "class2tempdir" in Catalyst::Utils.

    auth_store
        A store (or store name) to retrieve the user from.

        When a user is successfully authenticated it will call this:

                $store->get_user( $name, $parameters, $result_of_verify );

        Where $parameters is a the hash reference passed to "verify" in
        Authen::TypeKey, and $result_of_verify is the value returned by
        "verify" in Authen::TypeKey.

        "default_auth_store" will NOT be used automatically, you need to set
        this parameter to "default" for that to happen. This is because most
        TypeKey usage is not store-oriented.

    user_class
        If "auth_store" or the default store returns nothing from get_user,
        this class will be used to instantiate an object by calling "new" on
        the class with the return value from "verify" in Authen::TypeKey.
