CGI::Bus::uauth - default or base user authentication class


=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use CGI::Bus;
 $s =CGI::Bus->new();
 $s->ugroups;         # get groups current user belongs to

 use CGI::Bus;
 $s =CGI::Bus->new();
 $s->set(-login => '/cgi-bin/login-screen.cgi');
 $s->uauth;           # go to login screen

 use CGI::Bus;
 $s =CGI::Bus->new();
 $s->set(-login => undef);
 $s->uauth->authscr   # login script under web server authentication

 use CGI::Bus;
 $s =CGI::Bus->new();
 $s->uauth->loginscr; # ... with authentication by application


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is default or base user authentication class.
It provides C<user>, C<ugroups>, C<uglist>, C<auth> methods
for L<CGI::Bus|CGI/Bus> 'user' and 'group' methods, which are
wrappers to C<CGI::Bus::uauth>.
It contains platform specific methods and may be overwritten 
in L<CGI::Bus|CGI/Bus> with '-import'.
It implements a three user authentication methods:

Web server user authentication on Win32 IIS or Apache with 'NTLM' module.
Win32 operation use 
'findgrp.exe' Windows NT Resource Kit utility
and/or Windows 2000 ADSI via L<Win32::OLE|Win32/OLE> module
and/or L<Win32API::Net|Win32API/Net> module.

Apache user authentication with 'AuthUserFile' and 'AuthGroupFile'.

User authentication by application (with C<loginscr> or C<auth>/C<authscr>), 
where user data are stored within
L<CGI::Bus::udata|CGI/Bus/udata> or its replacement.


Cookie operation (C<auth>, C<loginscr>, C<signchk>, C<signset>, C<logout>) 
use L<Digest|Digest> modules, default is 'MD5'.

See L<CGI::Bus::Base|CGI/Bus/Base> for inherited slots and methods.




=head1 SLOTS

=over


=item -adsi

Use Windows2000 ADSI via L<Win32::OLE|Win32/OLE> module if C<-adsi>.
Use '1' or '0' or undef value, other values are reserved.


=item -AuthUserFile

Pointer to Apache's 'AuthUserFile'


=item -AuthGroupFile

Pointer to Apache's 'AuthGroupFile'


=item -digest

L<Digest|Digest> submodule to use with C<signchk> and C<signset>.
Default used is 'MD5'


=item -login

Login screen URL. Used by C<auth>


=item -udata

If true, user authentication by application will be supposed
with L<CGI::Bus::udata|CGI/Bus/udata> component for
C<ugroups> and C<uglist> calls

=head1 METHODS


=over


=item auth (?[types], ?redirect URL) 

User authentication request or login operation.
Redirect to C<-login> and exit may be used for authentication.
Login screen should set $ENV{REMOTE_USER} (by web server or itself)
and call C<auth>; C<signset>(?redirect) will be called inside.
This operation is for optional web server authentication.
It is not needed when web server authentication is set for scripts.
C<loginscr> may be used for user authentication by application.


=item authscr ( ? auth args )

User authentication screen for login scripts under web server authentication.
Contains L<CGI::Bus|CGI/Bus> C<userauth> call, which calls C<auth>.
Not authenticated users will be authenticated and redirected back.
Authenticated users will get authentication information page with URL
to return back.
This method is created partially due to possible browser redirection problems.


=item authurl -> login script call URL

=item authurl ( return to URL )

=item authurl ( login script URL, return to URL )

Form and return URL to call login script.
Default login script URL is C<-login>.
If there is no login script URL, empty string will be returned.
If login script URL ends with '/' sign, it is treated as 
authenticated location, and current script name will to be appended.
Default return URL is current script's URL.
C<auth> call can redirect to login script,
but C<authurl> may be used to place URL to lead user to 
login script directly and decrease browser redirections.


=item loginscr ( ?'-lri' ) -> redirect

Login screen operation for user authentication by application.
Options: 'l'ogin, 'r'egister user function, user 'i'nfo function,
default '-lri'.
Use C<auth> instead of C<loginscr> for web server authentication with cookie.
See issue about authentication by application.


=item logout (?redirect) -> exit

Clear user authentication cookie and redirect to
URL given or $ENV{HTTP_REFERER}


=item signchk () -> success

Check authentication cookie.
Dies on corrupted.
Returns empty if no cookie.
Uses L<Digest|Digest>


=item signget () -> [cookie data]

Get authentication cookie data, undef if not exists.
May be used to detect authentication cookie existence


=item signset (?redirect) -> redirect

Set authentication cookie, redirect, exit
Uses $ENV{REMOTE_USER} and $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} for cookie data.
Uses L<Digest|Digest>


=item uglist (?-ug) -> [user and groups list]

=item uglist (?-ug, {}) -> {name=>label,...}

List (array ref) of user and group names.
Options are: 'u'sers only, 'g'roups only, default is '-ug'.
Form with hash ref may be used to get names and labels of them.
Labels begin with user name, comma, and blank sign.


=item ugroups () -> [groups of user] 

Groups array ref user belongs to


=item usdomain () -> User names Server's Domain name

User names Server's Domain name - Windows NT or DNS domain name.
See also C<userver>.


=item user () -> user name

Current user name.
Result of web server or script authentication: 
$ENV{REMOTE_USER} ||$ENV{AUTH_USER}... ||C<signchk>


=item userver () -> User names Server name

User names Server name - Windows NT or DNS host name.
See also C<usdomain>.

=item New:

C<-adsi> switch, attempting to use a Windows 2000 ADSI, see issues in the source code



=head2 15/10/2001 - 23/03/2002

=item New:

Implemented and Documented


=item ToDo:

 ? AuthDBMUserFile('user'=>), AuthDBMGroupFile('user'=>'groups')
 ? AuthDBUserFile, AuthDBGroupFile

=item Issues:

 - All platform and authentication method specifics could not
   be implemented in a one module. Another authentication support
   modules may be needed.
 - Application (password, not web server) authentication interferes
   with web server access control to a files. So, if application
   publishes files via URLs, this URLs should operate via scripts,
   or only web server authentication should be used.
