[dancer-users] Basic authentication and Dancer

[Nikos Vaggalis]

you could use Plack::Builder;

append the following inside your app.psgi file

use Plack::Builder;

builder {
      enable "Auth::Basic", authenticator => \&authen_cb;
}

sub authen_cb {
      my($username, $password, $env) = @_;
      return ($username eq 'testuser' && $password eq 'testpassword')
}
