Authen::Simple(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Authen::Simple — Simple Authentication 💅 (yes bestie, it's Authen::Simple, a Perl module, and it does exactly what it says on the tin)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe in one code block, no edits, just vibes:

use Authen::Simple;
use Authen::Simple::Kerberos;
use Authen::Simple::SMB;

my $simple = Authen::Simple->new(
    Authen::Simple::Kerberos->new( realm => 'REALM.COMPANY.COM' ),
    Authen::Simple::SMB->new( domain => 'DOMAIN', pdc => 'PDC' )
);

if ( $simple->authenticate( $username, $password ) ) {
    # successfull authentication
}

(and yes, the comment says # successfull authentication — that's the original's spelling, we're keeping it, we don't touch the lore 🫶)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's a simple and consistent framework for authentication. That's literally it. That's the whole pitch. You plug in adapters, they all speak the same language, and you get one clean authenticate call instead of seventeen different APIs giving you seventeen different headaches. iconic behaviour honestly ✨

👑 METHODS 👑

• new — this method takes an array of Authen::Simple adapters. Required. Like, genuinely required, don't skip it, it's not optional, bestie 💀
• authenticate( $username, $password ) — returns true on success and false on failure. That's it. That's the deal. True means you're in, false means you're not 🎀
