C4::Auth - Authenticates Koha users
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use CGI;
use C4::Auth;
$query = new CGI;
($userid, $cookie, $sessionID) = &checkauth($query);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides authentication for Koha users.

=item checkauth
($userid, $cookie, $sessionID) = &checkauth($query, $noauth);
Verifies that the user is authorized to run this script. Note that
C<&checkauth> will return if and only if the user is authorized, so it
should be called early on, before any unfinished operations (i.e., if
you've opened a file, then C<&checkauth> won't close it for you).
C<$query> is the CGI object for the script calling C<&checkauth>.
The C<$noauth> argument is optional. If it is set, then no
authorization is required for the script.
C<&checkauth> fetches user and session information from C<$query> and
ensures that the user is authorized to run scripts that require
authorization.
If C<$query> does not have a valid session ID associated with it
(i.e., the user has not logged in) or if the session has expired,
C<&checkauth> presents the user with a login page (from the point of
view of the original script, C<&checkauth> does not return). Once the
user has authenticated, C<&checkauth> restarts the original script
(this time, C<&checkauth> returns).
C<&checkauth> returns a user ID, a cookie, and a session ID. The
cookie should be sent back to the browser; it verifies that the user
has authenticated.

# FIXME - (Or rather, proofreadme)
# As I understand it, the 'sessionqueries' table in the Koha database
# is supposed to save state while the user authenticates. If
# (re-)authentication is required, &checkauth saves the browser's
# original call to a new entry in sessionqueries, then presents a form
# for the user to authenticate. Once the user has authenticated
# visself, &checkauth retrieves the stored information from
# sessionqueries and allows the original request to proceed.
#
# One problem, however, is that sessionqueries only stores the URL,
# not the various values passed along from an HTML form. Thus, if the
# request came from a form and contains information on stuff to change
# (e.g., modify the contents of a virtual bookshelf), but the session
# has timed out, then when &checkauth finally allows the request to
# proceed, it will not contain the user's modifications. This is bad.
#
# Another problem is that entries in sessionqueries are supposed to be
# temporary, but there's no mechanism for removing them in case of
# error (e.g., the user can't remember vis password and walks away, or
# if the user's machine crashes in the middle of authentication).
#
# Perhaps a better implementation would be to use $query->param to get
# the parameter with which the original script was invoked, and pass
# that along through all of the authentication pages. That way, all of
# the pertinent information would be preserved, and the sessionqueries
# table could be removed.
