NAME

FS::UID - Subroutines for database login and assorted other stuff

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::UID qw(adminsuidsetup cgisuidsetup dbh datasrc getotaker
 checkeuid checkruid);

 adminsuidsetup $user;

 $cgi = new CGI;
 $dbh = cgisuidsetup($cgi);

 $dbh = dbh;

 $datasrc = datasrc;

 $driver_name = driver_name;

DESCRIPTION

Provides a hodgepodge of subroutines.

SUBROUTINES

adminsuidsetup USER
Sets the user to USER (see config.html from the base documentation). Cleans the environment. Make sure the script is running as freeside, or setuid freeside. Opens a connection to the database. Swaps real and effective UIDs. Runs any defined callbacks (see below). Returns the DBI database handle (usually you don't need this).
install_callback
A package can install a callback to be run in adminsuidsetup by passing a coderef to the FS::UID->install_callback class method. If adminsuidsetup has run already, the callback will also be run immediately.

   $coderef = sub { warn "Hi, I'm returning your call!" };
   FS::UID->install_callback($coderef);

   install_callback FS::UID sub { 
     warn "Hi, I'm returning your call!"
   };

cgisuidsetup CGI_object
Takes a single argument, which is a CGI (see CGI) or Apache (see Apache) object (CGI::Base is depriciated). Runs cgisetotaker and then adminsuidsetup.
cgi
Returns the CGI (see CGI) object.
dbh
Returns the DBI database handle.
datasrc
Returns the DBI data source.
driver_name
Returns just the driver name portion of the DBI data source.
getotaker
Returns the current Freeside user.
cgisetotaker
Sets and returns the CGI REMOTE_USER. $cgi should be defined as a CGI.pm object (see CGI) or an Apache object (see Apache). Support for CGI::Base and derived classes is depriciated.
checkeuid
Returns true if effective UID is that of the freeside user.
checkruid
Returns true if the real UID is that of the freeside user.
getsecrets [ USER ]
Sets the user to USER, if supplied. Sets and returns the DBI datasource, username and password for this user from the `/usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets' file.
use_confcompat
Returns true whenever we should use 1.7 configuration compatibility.

CALLBACKS

Warning: this interface is (still) likely to change in future releases.

New (experimental) callback interface:

A package can install a callback to be run in adminsuidsetup by passing a coderef to the FS::UID->install_callback class method. If adminsuidsetup has run already, the callback will also be run immediately. 

   $coderef = sub { warn "Hi, I'm returning your call!" };
   FS::UID->install_callback($coderef);

   install_callback FS::UID sub { 
     warn "Hi, I'm returning your call!"
   };

Old (deprecated) callback interface:

A package can install a callback to be run in adminsuidsetup by putting a coderef into the hash %FS::UID::callback : 

   $coderef = sub { warn "Hi, I'm returning your call!" };
   $FS::UID::callback{'Package::Name'} = $coderef;

BUGS

Too many package-global variables.

Not OO.

No capabilities yet. When mod_perl and Authen::DBI are implemented, cgisuidsetup will go away as well.

Goes through contortions to support non-OO syntax with multiple datasrc's.

Callbacks are (still) inelegant.
