💖 NAME 💖

Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Unix — bestie, this one authenticates *nix system accounts. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🐧✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so listen. This is an authentication provider for Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible, and what it does is authenticate Linux/Unix system accounts. Like, the actual accounts on the box. The real ones. No cap. 🫶

Under the hood it's pulling two little helpers:

  • Unix::Passwd::File — this is the one reading user details 📖
  • Authen::Simple::PAM — this is the one doing the actual authentication via PAM 🔐

The get_user_details call for this provider will return information from the passwd file — so expect gecos, gid, uid, home, shell, uid. (Yes bestie, uid is listed twice, I'm just telling you what the page says, I don't make the rules 💅)

Unix group membership is used as a reasonable facsimile for roles — and honestly? It seems sensible. 👑

So that's the tea 🍓 — this is Dancer...::Unix, living its life as User Contributed Perl Documentation, version perl v5.36.0, dated 2023-01-05. Periodt. Go authenticate something cute. 💖✨🎀
