| > > | Package =TWiki::ClientThe package is also a Factory for login managers and also the base class for all login managers. On it's own, an object of this class is used when you specify 'none' in the security setup section of configure . When it is used,
logins are not supported. If you want to authenticate users then you should
consider TemplateLogin or ApacheLogin, which are subclasses of this class.
If you are building a new login manager, then you should write a new subclass
of this class, implementing the methods marked as VIRTUAL. There are already
examples in the lib/TWiki/Client directory.
StaticMethod makeClient ($twiki) -> $TWiki::ClientFactory method, used to generate a new TWiki::Client object for the given session.ObjectMethod loadSession ()Get the client session data, using the cookie and/or the request URL. Set up appropriate session variables in the twiki object and return the login name.ObjectMethod checkAccess ()Check if the script being run in this session is authorised for execution. If not, throw an access control exception.ObjectMethod *finishComplete processing after the client's HTTP request has been responded to. Flush the user's session (if any) to disk.StaticMethod *expireDeadSessions ()Delete sessions that are sitting around but are really expired. This assumes that the sessions are stored as files. This is a static method, but requires TWiki::cfg. It is designed to be run from a session or from a cron job.ObjectMethod userLoggedIn ($login,$wikiname)Called when the user logs in. It's invoked from TWiki::UI::Register::finish for instance, when the user follows the link in their verification email message.
ObjectMethod *endRenderingHandler ()This handler is called by getRenderedVersion just before the plugins postRenderingHandler. So it is passed all HTML text just before it is printed. DEPRECATED Use postRenderingHandler instead.ObjectMethod addCookie ($c)Add a cookie to the list of cookies for this session.
ObjectMethod modifyHeader (\%header)Modify a HTTP header
ObjectMethod *redirectCgiQuery ($url)Generate an HTTP redirect on STDOUT, if you can. Return 1 if you did. Don't forget to pass all query parameters through.
ObjectMethod *getSessionValues () -> \%valuesGet a name->value hash of all the defined session variablesObjectMethod *getSessionValue ($name) -> $valueGet the value of a session variable.ObjectMethod *setSessionValue ($name,$value)Set the value of a session variable. We do not allow setting of AUTHUSER.ObjectMethod *clearSessionValue ($name)Clear the value of a session variable. We do not allow setting of AUTHUSER.ObjectMethod *forceAuthentication () -> booleanVIRTUAL METHOD implemented by subclasses Triggered by an access control violation, this method tests to see if the current session is authenticated or not. If not, it does whatever is needed so that the user can log in, and returns 1. If the user has an existing authenticated session, the function simply drops though and returns 0.ObjectMethod loginUrl (...) -> $urlVIRTUAL METHOD implemented by subclasses Return a full URL suitable for logging in.
ObjectMethod getUser ()VIRTUAL METHOD implemented by subclasses If there is some other means of getting a username - for example, Apache has remote_user() - then return it. Otherwise, return undef and the username stored in the session will be used. | |||||||
