[Catalyst] installing Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::LDAP

[Jay K]

Hi all,

I can shed some light here.

As of Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication version 0.10003 - the default
naming for stores and credentials is

Catalyst::Authentication::Store::XYZ

and

Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::XYZ

The Store and Credential modules that have been updated to work with
realms are not loaded as Catalyst Plugins, and the fact that the
namespace indicated plugin was confusing people.   As of 0.10003 - the
default action is to look for modules using the correct namespace, and
if not found, fall back to the old namespace.   That is all the debug
message is saying, that it fell back to the old-style of naming.  It's
not an error and will not break anything.

The debug message is there in case you are intending to load a
Catalyst::Authentication::XYZ module and your app is not finding it...
which could cause problems if an older module is being found and
loaded instead.

If the debug message really bothers you, you can specify the full
module name (prefixed with +) instead of just 'Password' or
'Store::LDAP'.

Hope that clears things up,

Jay
