Version 1.00

SYNOPSIS

    use WWW::MLite::AuthSsn;
    
    my $ssn = new WWW::MLite::AuthSsn(
        -dsn    => "driver:sqlite",
        -sid    => ($q->param("SID") || $q->cookie("SID") || undef),
        -key    => "SID",
        -expire => "+3M",

DESCRIPTION

Authorisation/Authentication/Access (AAA) mechanism support via sessions

METHODS

new
    my $ssn = new WWW::MLite::AuthSsn(
        -dsn    => $dsn, # See CGI::Session
        -sid    => $sid || undef), # Session IDentifier
        -key    => "SID", # Key name
        -expire => "+3M", # Expires
        -args   => { ... args ... }, # See CGI::Session
    );

Creating AuthSsn object

init
    $ssn->init;

Initialising the session. For internal use only. Please do not use it

Method returns status operation: 1 - successfully; 0 - not successfully

update
    $ssn->update;

Updating static data of the session. For internal use only. Please do not use it

authen
    $ssn->authen;
    $ssn->authen( $callback, ...arguments... );

AAA Authentication.

The method returns status operation: 1 - successfully; 0 - not successfully

authz
    $ssn->authz;
    $ssn->authz( $callback, ...arguments... );

AAA Authorization.

The method returns status operation: 1 - successfully; 0 - not successfully

access
    $ssn->access;
    $ssn->access( $callback, ...arguments... );

AAA Accounting (AAA Access).

The method returns status operation: 1 - successfully; 0 - not successfully

get
    $ssn->get( $key );

Returns user session value by $key

set
    $ssn->set( $key, $value );

Sets user session value by $key

delete
    $ssn->delete;

Delete the session

sid, usid
    $ssn->sid;

Returns current usid value

expires
    $ssn->expires;

Returns current expires value

status
    $ssn->status;
    $ssn->status( $newstatus );

Returns status of a previously executed operation. If you specify $newstatus, there will push installation $newstatus

reason, reason_translate
    $ssn->reason;
    $ssn->reason( $newreason );
    $ssn->reason_translate;

Returns reason of a previously executed operation. If you specify $newreason, there will push installation $newreason

Now supported following values: DEFAULT, OK, UNAUTHORIZED, ERROR, SERVER_ERROR, NEW, TIMEOUT, LOGIN_INCORRECT, PASSWORD_INCORRECT, DECLINED, AUTH_REQUIRED, FORBIDDEN.

For translating this values to regular form please use method reason_translate like that

error
    $ssn->error();
    $ssn->error( $newerror );

Returns error of a previously executed operation. If you specify $newerror, there will push installation $newerror

toexpire
    $ssn->toexpire( $time );

Returns expiration interval relative to ctime() form.

If used with no arguments, returns the expiration interval if it was ever set. If no expiration was ever set, returns undef.

All the time values should be given in the form of seconds. Following keywords are also supported for your convenience:

    +-----------+---------------+
    |   alias   |   meaning     |
    +-----------+---------------+
    |     s     |   Second      |
    |     m     |   Minute      |
    |     h     |   Hour        |
    |     d     |   Day         |
    |     w     |   Week        |
    |     M     |   Month       |
    |     y     |   Year        |
    +-----------+---------------+

Examples:

    $ssn->toexpire("2h"); # expires in two hours
    $ssn->toexpire(3600); # expires in one hour

Note: all the expiration times are relative to session's last access time, not to its creation time. To expire a session immediately, call delete() method.

get_atime, get_ctime
    $ssn->get_atime;
    $ssn->get_ctime;

Returns current atime and ctime values. Value atime - access time; ctime - create time

get_data
    $ssn->get_data;

Returns user data of current session as hash-ref

get_expires
    $ssn->get_expires;

Returns expiring interval of current session

CONFIGURATION

Sample in file conf/auth.conf:

    <Auth>
        expires +3m
        #sidkey usid
    </Auth>

EXAMPLES

SQLite
    my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=/tmp/sessions.db", "","", { RaiseError => 1, sqlite_unicode => 1, });
    $dbh->do('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sessions ( id CHAR(32) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, a_session TEXT NOT NULL )');
    my $ssn = new WWW::MLite::AuthSsn(
        -dsn    => "driver:sqlite",
        -sid    => ($q->param("SID") || $q->cookie("SID") || undef),
        -key    => "SID",
        -expire => "+3M",
        -args   => { Handle => $dbh },
    );
