Types

type UserDatasource

type UserDatasource interface {
	AuthUser(username, password string) (bool, error)
}

Authenticate a username/password pair.

This expects a username and a password as strings. A boolean `true` indicates that the user has been authenticated. A `false` indicates that the user/password combo has failed to auth. This is not necessarily an error. An error should only be returned when an unexpected condition has obtained during authentication.
