Re: [cgiapp] Authenticate after user creates an account

["Mark Rajcok" <suppressed>]

Ron, thanks for asking.
The Authentication documentation says it's ok to call it multiple times.
As it turns out, I think initialize() is called before my runmode gets called,
then my runmode calls initialize() again (twice).  So it's being called 3 times.

I looked at the source code and saw this:
sub initialize {
   my $self = shift;
   return 1 if $self->{initialized};
   # It would seem to make more sense to do this at the /end/ of the routine
   # but that causes an infinite loop.
   $self->{initialized} = 1;

So in my runmode when I call initialize(), it simply returns
That gave me an idea (which worked!).  In my runmode I now have:

       $self->authen->{initialized} = 0;  # force reinitialization,
hence writes to storage
       $self->authen->initialize;

This causes the Authentication module to essentially reinitialize.
I will ask Cees to consider adding a reinitialize() (or
reauthenticate() or ...) method
to the module, as I think it would be useful.
