OpenInteract2::Auth

I recently had the opportunity to work with OpenInteract2::Auth, a base Perl class that provides users with seamless and reliable login capabilities. The module boasts a range of features that make it ideal for setting up user logins on your website.

The module works by setting classes responsible for various auth pieces in server configuration. By default, the classes are normally okay, but users can take full advantage of the flexibility of the module and customize the settings to suit their specific needs.

One of the aspects I appreciated most was the ease with which I could set up a login for my website. Simply calling 'login()' allows everything to sort itself out, with the adapter handling everything needed to process the login. For those who already have a user from somewhere else (such as HTTP authentication), it's as simple as passing in the user, and OpenInteract2::Auth takes care of the rest.

In addition, the module offers a wide range of configuration settings to help ensure a secure and user-friendly login system. For instance, users can require that all users be logged into their site. Any visitors not logged in will see /login.html, unless they request one of the URL patterns specified in 'required_skip'.

Users can also define a custom handler to run with each login using the 'custom_login_handler' and 'custom_login_method' settings.

Overall, I found OpenInteract2::Auth to be an incredibly useful and customizable module for all my website's login requirements. It offers the flexibility and functionality needed to cater to individual website needs while ensuring clean, safe, and user-friendly logins for all.
