[Catalyst] Debugging Auth code

[Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum]

My password field is called "password", so i left it out of the config, bec=
ause the
docs say that this is the default and therefore unnecessary.

I thought that the id_field was the name of the id; i do have an id value,
but of course the user just enters a name, not their database id.

In any case I changed the config to:

=A0__PACKAGE__->config->{'Plugin::Authentication'} =3D {=A0 =

=A0=A0=A0=A0 default_realm =3D> 'dbic',
=A0=A0=A0=A0 realms =3D> {
=A0=A0=A0 =A0dbic =3D> {
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0=A0 credential =3D> {
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0class =3D> 'Password',
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0password_field =3D> 'password',
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0password_type =3D> 'clear'
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0=A0 },
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0=A0 store =3D> {
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0class =3D> 'DBIx::Class',
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0user_class =3D> 'CiteEditorDB::User',
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0id_field =3D> 'login'
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0=A0 }
=A0=A0=A0 =A0}
=A0=A0=A0=A0 }
=A0};

(Sorry about the indentation, its not cut-and-pasting well.)

And i have the same result--"[debug] Unable to locate user matching user in=
fo provided"
in my log.

Anything else i can try? Thank you!

Hi Jennifer,

Looks like you are missing the "password_field" config parameter:
http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10006/lib/Cat=
alyst/Authentication/Credential/Password.pm#CONFIGURATION

Also, you need to have the "id_field" set in your store
configuration:
http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBIx-Class-0.104=
/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Store/DBIx/Class.pm#CONFIGURATION

That would be the name of your username field in your MyDB::User class.
