I hope I'm not oversimplifying, but can't one set session user => $username; when it is validated and refer to it as session('user') later?
Of course, it would be obvious way, if I could initialize $username from somewhere... But I think I am approaching to solution somehow and try to make some test. Problem: I don't want to use Plack::Middleware::Auth::Basic as authenticator, because the authenticator mechanism is already set inside Apache. Idea for solution: if I understand correctly, ::Auth::Basic sets user-value inside Dancer's request object and if I should be able to read username inside authenticator-callback. Then I could return true if REMOTE_USER is set and false otherwise... I try it and let you know. Thank you for your hints anyway -- Wbr, Kõike hääd, Gunnar
