Authen...jectAll(3pm)

👑 NAME 👑

Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll — bestie, this thing rejects all passphrases. Every single one. No exceptions, no mercy, no cap. 💅

(This lil page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, manual page 3pm, so if you ever need to cite it, that's the vibe.)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll;

$ppr = Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll->new;

$ppr = Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll
        ->from_crypt("*");

$ppr = Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll
        ->from_rfc2307("{CRYPT}*");

if($ppr->match($passphrase)) { ...

$passwd = $ppr->as_crypt;
$userPassword = $ppr->as_rfc2307;

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, an object of this class is a passphrase recogniser that accepts no passphrase whatsoever. Not one. Not yours, not hers, not the one you swear you typed correctly. It's giving 🚫✨.

This is a subclass of Authen::Passphrase, and this doc just assumes you already know the lore over at that class. Go read that if you haven't, iykyk.

Now, real talk: this type of passphrase recogniser is obviously of no use at all in controlling access to any resource. Like, zero. Negative useful energy. 😭 Its whole ~thing~ is to let a resource be completely inaccessible in a system that expects some type of passphrase access control. So the system gets its little passphrase-shaped box to fill in, and the answer is always, forever, no. Periodt. 💀

🎀 CONSTRUCTORS 🎀

• Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll->new — returns a reject-all passphrase recogniser object. And plot twist: the same object is returned from each call. Every time. It's the same one. She's an icon, she doesn't need to be cloned. 👑
• Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll->from_crypt(PASSWD) — returns a reject-all passphrase recogniser object, and yup, the same object is returned from each call. The argument, a crypt string, must be between one and twelve (inclusive) characters long and must not start with "$". That's the whole rule. Respect it. 🙈
• Authen::Passphrase::RejectAll->from_rfc2307(USERPASSWORD) — generates a new reject-all passphrase recogniser object from an RFC 2307 string. The string must consist of "{CRYPT}" (case insensitive, bestie, we don't gatekeep capitalisation) followed by an acceptable crypt string. 💖

🦋 METHODS 🦋

• $ppr->match(PASSPHRASE)
• $ppr->as_crypt
• $ppr->as_rfc2307

These methods are part of the standard Authen::Passphrase interface. And the headline: the "match" method always returns false. Every time. Forever. It's not being shady, it's literally the design. The vibe check is a hard no and it's so consistent about it. 🌈
