User login.pl
user_login.pl contains configuration for how to check whether and who a user should be logged in as using a function defined under $c->{check_user_password}.
Example
$c->{check_user_password} = sub { my( $repo, $username, $password ) = @_; return $ok ? $username : undef; };

User masquerading
This tweak for check_user_password enables administrators to log into a system as any other user by using a special "/[username]" postfix to their normal username.
$c->{check_user_password} = sub { my( $repo, $u, $password ) = @_; my( $username, $alias ) = split /\//, $u; ... normal authentication for $username if( $alias && $user->get_type eq "admin" ) { $user = $repo->user_by_username( $alias ); $username = defined $user ? $user->value( "username" ) : undef; } return $username; }
