## SYNOPSIS

```
  use base qw(CGI::Application);
  use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;
  __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
    DRIVER => [ 'CDBI',
      CLASS   => 'My::CDBI::Users',
      FIELD_METHODS => [qw(user MD5:passphrase)]
    ],
    CREDENTIALS => [qw(auth_username auth_password)],
  );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This Authentication driver uses the Class::DBI module to allow you to  authenticate against any Class::DBI class.

## PARAMETERS

The Class::DBI authentication driver accepts the following required parameters.

### CLASS (required)

Specifies the Class::DBI class to use for authentication. This class must be loaded prior to use.

### FIELD\_METHODS (required)

FIELD\_METHODS is an arrayref of the methods in the Class::DBI class specified by CLASS to be used during authentication. The order of these methods needs to match the order of the CREDENTIALS. For example, if CREDENTIALS is set to:

```
  CREDENTIALS => [qw(auth_user auth_domain auth_password)]
```

Then FIELD\_METHODS must be set to:

```
  FIELD_METHODS => [qw(userid domain password)]
```

FIELD\_METHODS supports filters as specified by  CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver

## METHODS

### verify\_credentials

This method will test the provided credentials against the values found in  the database, according to the Driver configuration.
