💖 NAME 💖

CGI::Application::Plugin::Authorization::Driver::ActiveDirectory — bestie, it's the ActiveDirectory Authorization driver ✨

Like, this is the lil plugin that lets your CGI::Application authz setup go "hey ActiveDirectory, is this person in the group?" 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so here's the whole vibe, copy-paste girlies:

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

__PACKAGE__->authz->config(
    DRIVER => [ 'ActiveDirectory',
               HOST      => 'ad.foo.org',
               BINDDN    => 'myself',
               BINDPW    => 'mypass',
               PRINCIPAL => 'foo.org',
        ],
);

(no wait — that second line is use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authorization; fr fr, don't @ me)

Real one, verbatim, no typos, promise:

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

__PACKAGE__->authz->config(
    DRIVER => [ 'ActiveDirectory',
               HOST      => 'ad.foo.org',
               BINDDN    => 'myself',
               BINDPW    => 'mypass',
               PRINCIPAL => 'foo.org',
        ],
);

So you're passing the driver name 'ActiveDirectory' plus HOST, BINDDN, BINDPW and PRINCIPAL in that DRIVER arrayref, and the plugin handles the rest. Iconic. 💅

🎀 METHODS 🎀

⭐ authorize_user

This method takes a username, and then a whole list of group names after it.

It returns true if the user is in at least one of those groups. That's it. That's the whole method. Not all of them — at least one. Slay. 🔥
