💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is the user-contributed Perl documentation page for CGI::A...::Dummy(3pm) — aka CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication::Driver::Dummy. It's the Dummy Authentication driver, and its whole personality is letting literally anyone authenticate regardless of the password they provide. No cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

 use base qw(CGI::Application);
 use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication;

  __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
        DRIVER => 'Dummy',
  );

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This driver is the anti-authentication driver, because it does not check the credentials at all — it just accepts whatever the user has entered. Iconic, chaotic, zero notes. 💀

It can be useful in development, or if you want a guest-based system without passwords. So like, a VIP lounge where the bouncer is a cardboard cutout. 🫶

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

  __PACKAGE__->authen->config(
        DRIVER => 'Dummy',
  );

🛠️ METHODS 🛠️

🔑 verify_credentials 🔑

This method will automatically return the first credential as the username without checking anything else. That's the whole bit. She said “username? sure bestie, first one's free.” ✨
