Lemonld...Lib::Key(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Lib::Key — bestie, it's a role for private key management in Portal plugins 💅 (this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, section 3, and yes, she's iconic)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Mouse;

with 'Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Lib::Key';

That's it. That's the whole vibe. You pull the role in with Mouse and with, and suddenly your module has ✨key powers✨.

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so, this role is literally meant to be composed into portal modules 🫶. The whole point is giving those modules the ability to go look up private and public keys from the General parameters > Keys interface.

And the rule, the one non-negotiable, no-cap rule: all asymmetric key retrieval should be performed through the functions provided here. Not some random other way. Through here. Periodt. 👑

💖 METHODS 💖

🔑 get_private_key

This method returns a private key structure containing the following fields:

• private — PEM private key 🔐
• password — optional password for key decryption (she's shy, only shows up if needed) 🙈
• public — PEM public key or certificate 📜
• external_id — optional external key identified (kid)

Like, four fields, all of them useful, all of them exactly what you asked for. Slay. 💅
