Dancer2 Authentication

I'm trying to use the Dancer2 plugin: Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible with my own authentication provider because there is an existing one in the project I'm working on.

I have adapted the given example, however I need to pass a couple of parameters to both the authenticate_user and users subroutine. The parameter is dynamic, so I can't add it via the configuration file.

I have an inelegent method to pass it in with the username as a string (concatenated) and then split it inside the authenticate_user, but this won't work with the users subroutine. And this just isn't the right way to do it.

I also tried passing it as a regular parameter, like

sub authenticate_user {
   my ($self, $username_course, $password, $realm,$param) = @_;

but this didn't work (not sure why), and it won't work for users, which no parameters.

I've thought that since this is a Dancer2::Plugin that I could leverage some of that, but not exactly how to adapt the existing Plugin. This is what I've tried:

package Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::Test;

use Moo;
with "Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Role::Provider";

has authen_param => (is => 'rw');

plugin_keywords 'set_param';  # this fails compilation


sub set_param {
  my ($self,$p) = @_;
  $self->authen_param($p);
}

sub authenticate_user {
  my ($self, $username, $password) = @_;

  # use authen_param to authenticate
}

It appears that I can use the session to store the information that I need. I need to make sure that I store the parameter in the session and then can retrieve it using $self->plugin->dsl->session->data->{param_name}.
