NAME
APR::Util - Perl API for Various APR Utilities
Synopsis
use APR::Util ();
$ok = password_validate($passwd, $hash);
Description
Various APR utilities that don't fit into any other group.
API
"APR::Util" provides the following functions and/or methods:
"password_validate"
Validate an encrypted password hash against a plain text password (with
lots of restrictions and peculiarities).
$ok = password_validate($passwd, $hash);
arg1: $passwd ( string )
Plain text password string
arg2: $hash ( string )
Encrypted or encoded hash. See below for supported hash formats.
ret: $ok ( boolean )
The password either matches or not.
since: 2.0.00
The function handles the output of the following functions (it knows to
tell md5 and sha1 from the others, since they are have a special pat-
tern recognized by apr):
* md5
generated by "apr_md5_encode()" (for which at the moment we have no
perl glue, ask if you need it).
* sha1
generated by "apr_sha1_base64()" (for which at the moment we have
no perl glue, ask if you need it).
and it's available only since Apache 2.0.50
* crypt
On all but the following platforms: MSWin32, beos and NetWare.
Therefore you probably don't want to use that feature, unless you
know that your code will never end up running on those listed plat-
forms.
Moreover on these three platforms if that function sees that the
hash is not of md5 and sha1 formats, it'll do a clear to clear text
matching, always returning success, no matter what the hashed value
is.
Warning: double check that you understand what this function does and
does not before using it.
Unsupported API
"APR::Socket" also provides auto-generated Perl interface for a few
other methods which aren't tested at the moment and therefore their API
is a subject to change. These methods will be finalized later as a need
arises. If you want to rely on any of the following methods please con-
tact the the mod_perl development mailing list so we can help each
other take the steps necessary to shift the method to an officially
supported API.
"filepath_name_get"
META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed
[We have File::Spec and File::Basename for this purpose, I can't see
why this api is needed]
return the final element of the pathname
$ret = filepath_name_get($pathname);
arg1: $pathname ( string )
The path to get the final element of
ret: $ret ( string )
the final element of the path
For example:
"/foo/bar/gum" => "gum"
"/foo/bar/gum/" => ""
"gum" => "gum"
"bs\\path\\stuff" => "stuff"
since: subject to change
"password_get"
META: Autogenerated - needs to be reviewed/completed
Display a prompt and read in the password from stdin.
$ret = password_get($prompt, $pwbuf, $bufsize);
arg1: $prompt ( string )
The prompt to display
arg2: $pwbuf ( string )
Buffer to store the password
arg3: $bufsize (number)
The length of the password buffer.
ret: $ret (integer)
since: subject to change
