NAME

Gantry::Utils::AuthCDBI - Class::DBI base model for Gantry Auth

SYNOPSIS

This module expects to retrieve the database connection, username and password from the apache conf file like this:

<Location / > PerlOptions +GlobalRequest

    PerlSetVar auth_dbconn 'dbi:Pg:[database]'
    PerlSetVar auth_dbuser 'myuser'
    PerlSetVar auth_dbpass 'mypass'
</Location>

Or, from the cgi engines constructor:

    my $cgi = Gantry::Engine::CGI->new(
        locations => ...,
        config => {
            auth_dbconn =>  'dbi:Pg:[database]',
            auth_dbuser =>  'myuser',
            auth_dbpass =>  'mypass',
        }
    );

Or, from a script:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use Gangtry::Utils::DBConnHelper::Script;

    Gangtry::Utils::DBConnHelper::Script->set_auth_db_conn(
        {
            auth_dbconn =>  'dbi:Pg:[database]',
            auth_dbuser =>  'myuser',
            auth_dbpass =>  'mypass',
        }
    );
