Hi Luka,
Perhaps I miss-read the info on
http://search.cpan.org/~janus/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBI-0.01/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Store/DBI.pm
But from what I can see it expects you to map specific fields in a table as
well as have a user role table with specific data mapping?
[quote] __PACKAGE__->config->{'authentication'} = {
'default_realm' => 'default',
'realms' => {
'default' => {
'credential' => {
'class' => 'Password',
'password_field' => 'password',
'password_type' => 'hashed',
'password_hash_type' => 'SHA-1',
},
'store' => {
'class' => 'DBI',
'user_table' => 'login',
'user_key' => 'id',
'user_name' => 'name',
'role_table' => 'authority',
'role_key' => 'id',
'role_name' => 'name',
'user_role_table' => 'competence',
'user_role_user_key' => 'login',
'user_role_role_key' => 'authority',
},
},
},
};[/quote]
Have I read the above incorrectly?
I have a non-normalised DB , with an application that functions in a particular
way, I deal with user roles and other such stuff in my own way and I cannot
refactor to use catalyst without ensuring all sections of the system function
the same along with the back end admin system, I can't rewrite both parts at
the same time, this is a live app in production that works currently, I'm
simply trying to learn Catalyst & MVC cuteness, not start from scratch.

Please correct me if I'm reading the CPAN documentation incorrectly.
I want to refactor my app to be MVC using Catalyst without being forced to do
any other than MVC cuteness and work the way I want to with the a database that
already exists, I got the feeling Catalyst allows this unlike ROR or other MVC
frameworks.
Again, have I got this wrong?
If to use Catalyst I have to have a normalised DB, use specific modules with
data in a particular format, then I will just refactor our systems myself using
my own modules and such, best to find this out now before I spend any more time
on something that isn't suitable.
Thanks,
Craig.

Hey Craig,
I got it. You want to store your credentials in a database, but you don't want
to use DBIx::Class?
What about Catalyst::Authentication::Storage::DBI?
If this doesn't help, you might me right. Maybe you have to write your own
authentication module. In that case, consider making it a
Catalyst::Authentication::Store module, and publish it on cpan. It might be
useful for others, too...
By the way: Catalyst::Model::DBI is a ORM-less, raw DBI model for catalyst. So
"... whenever I look at how it implements anything to do with DB access, it
forces ORM upon you ..." is not correct. There are very few things which are
really forced by catalyst. Using DBIx::Class is just considered "good
practice". A lot of people use it, thats why it is used in most tutorials and
examples.
