Credentials may be in whatever form will satisfy the C function in L (username and password, hashref or credentials object). Each provider must respond true, false, or undef. A true value means the user is authenticated. A false value means that the user exists but is explicitly refused access (this should only be used in exceptional circumstances) and an undef value means the user cannot be authenticated by the provider (but could be authenticated by some other provider). =cut sub login { my $self = shift; my $credentials = new_credentials @_; foreach my $provider ( @{ $self->providers } ) { return $credentials if $provider->authenticate($credentials); return $credentials if $credentials->rejected; } return $credentials->deny('No provider authenticated these credentials'); } =head3 create_user $authentication->create_user( $user_id, $password ); Requests that a new user is created.
