RE: New auth stuff and LDAP store...

Here's what's working for me:


authentication:
   default_realm: users
   realms:
      users:
         credential:
            class: 'Password'
            password_type: 'self_check'

         store:      
            class: LDAP::Backend
            ldap_server: 'ldap://localhost:389'
            user_basedn: 'dc=birdwebdev,dc=dnsalias,dc=org'
            binddn:
'cn=admin,dc=birdwebdev,dc=dnsalias,dc=org'
            bindpw: 'xxxxx'


Note in particular the store class name.

FWIW, I'm using OpenLDAP.

Thanks. That works. I'm using OpenLDAP too.

However, I'm concerned about a few things.

(1) the LDAP documentation is wrong.
(2) in grokking the Authentication.pm code, I see that the
LDAP modules are
still working by virtue of a lot of code labeled 'BACKWARDS
COMPATABILITY' and
'old-style' and warnings about the interface eventually
disappearing. These
include get_user() instead of the newer find_user() et al.

As I have the time (and who knows how long that will
last...), I'd still like
to bring the LDAP plugins up to speed. I'll hack on it a bit
today and see
where I get.
