=head1 NAME

Bugzilla::Auth::Login - Gets username/password data from the user.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Bugzilla::Auth::Login is used to get information that uniquely identifies
a user and allows us to authorize their Bugzilla access.

It is mostly an abstract class, requiring subclasses to implement
most methods.

Note that callers outside of the C<Bugzilla::Auth> package should never
create this object directly. Just create a C<Bugzilla::Auth> object
and call C<login> on it.

=head1 LOGIN METHODS

These are methods that have to do with getting the actual login data
from the user or handling a login somehow.

These methods are abstract -- they MUST be implemented by a subclass.

=item C<get_login_info()>

Description: Gets a username/password from the user, or some other
             information that uniquely identifies them.
Params:      None
Returns:     A C<$login_data> hashref. (See L<Bugzilla::Auth> for details.)
             The hashref MUST contain: C<user_id> *or* C<username>
             If this is a login method that requires verification,
             the hashref MUST contain C<password>.
             The hashref MAY contain C<realname> and C<extern_id>.

=item C<fail_nodata()>

Description: This function is called when Bugzilla doesn't get
             a username/password and the login type is C<LOGIN_REQUIRED>
             (See L<Bugzilla::Auth> for a description of C<LOGIN_REQUIRED>).
             That is, this handles C<AUTH_NODATA> in that situation.

             This function MUST stop CGI execution when it is complete.
             That is, it must call C<exit> or C<ThrowUserError> or some
             such thing.
Params:      None
Returns:     Never Returns.
