     ...
   };
   if (WebKDC::WebKDCException::match($@)) {
     my $e = $@;
     # you can call the following methods on a WebKDCException object:
     # $e->status()
     # $e->message()
     # $e->error_code()
     # $e->verbose_message()
   }
 
 

DESCRIPTION

The various WebKDC functions can all throw WebKDCException if something wrong happens.

EXPORT

The following constants are exported:

   WK_SUCCESS
   WK_ERR_USER_AND_PASS_REQUIRED
   WK_ERR_LOGIN_FAILED
   WK_ERR_UNRECOVERABLE_ERROR
   WK_ERR_REQUEST_TOKEN_STATLE
   WK_ERR_WEBAUTH_SERVER_ERROR
   WK_ERR_LOGIN_FORCED
   WK_ERR_USER_REJECTED
 
 

WK_SUCCESS

This status code never comes back as part of an exception, though it might be returned by a function that uses these status codes as return values.

WK_ERR_USER_AND_PASS_REQUIRED

This status code indicates that a function was called that required a username and password. The user should be prompted for their username and the function should be called again.

WK_ERR_LOGIN_FAILED

This status code indicates that a function was called that attempted to validate the username and password and could not, due to an invalid user or password. The user should be re-prompted for their username/password and the function should be called again.

WK_ERR_UNRECOVERABLE_ERROR

This status code indicates that a function was called and an error occured that can not be recovered from. If you are in the process of attempting to log a user in, you have no choice but to display an error message to the user and not prompt again.

WK_ERR_REQUEST_TOKEN_STALE

This status code indicates the user took too long to login, and the the request token is too old to be used.

WK_ERR_WEBAUTH_SERVER_ERROR

This status code indicates something happened that most likely indicates the webauth server that made the request is mis-configured and/or unauthorized to make the request. It is similar to WK_ERR_UNRECOVERABLE_ERROR except that the error message to the user should indicate that the problem is most likely with the server that redirected them.

WK_ERR_LOGIN_FORCED

This status code indicates that a function was called that required a username and password even if single sign-on credentials were available. The user should be prompted for their username and password and the function should be called again with that data.

WK_ERR_USER_REJECTED

This status code indicates that the authenticated principal was rejected by the WebKDC configuration (usually because WebKdcPermittedRealms was set and the realm of the principal wasn't in that list).

METHODS and FUNCTIONS

match($exception[, $status])

This class function (not a method) returns true if the given $exception is a WebKDC::WebKDCException. If $status is specified, then $exception->status() will also be compared to $status.

new(status, message, wrapped_exception)

This method is used to created new WebKDC::WebKDCException objects.

status()

This method returns the WebKDC::WebKDCException status code for the exception, which will be one of the WK_ERR_* codes.

message()

This method returns the error message that was used in the constructor.

error_code()

This method returns the WebKDC errorCode (if there was one).

verbose_message()

This method returns a verbose error message, which consists of the status code, message, and any error code.

The verbose_message method is also called if the exception is used as a string.
