connected to an underlying Rose::DB::Object subclass.

=head1 SUBROUTINES / METHODS

=head2 new

Constructor.

=head2 load ( $authinfo, $c )

Retrieves a user from storage using the information provided in $authinfo.

=head2 supported_features

Indicates the features supported by this class.  These are currently Roles and Session.

=head2 roles

Returns an array of roles associated with this user, if roles are configured for this user class.

=head2 for_session

Returns a serialized user for storage in the session.

=head2 from_session

Revives a serialized user from storage in the session.

=head2 get ( $fieldname )

Returns the value of $fieldname for the user in question.  Roughly translates to a call to
the $fieldname method of the underlying Rose::DB::Object subclass.

=head2 get_object

Retrieves the underlying Rose::DB::Object-subclassed object that corresponds to this user

=head2 obj (method)

Synonym for get_object

=head2 auto_create

This is called when the auto_create_user option is turned on in
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication and a user matching the authinfo provided is not found.
By default, this will call the C<auto_create()> method of the resultset associated
with this object. It is up to you to implement that method.

=head2 auto_update

This is called when the auto_update_user option is turned on in
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication. Note that by default the RDBO store
uses every field in the authinfo hash to match the user. This means any
information you provide with the intent to update must be ignored during the
user search process. Otherwise the information will most likely cause the user
record to not be found. To ignore fields in the search process, you
have to add the fields you wish to update to the 'ignore_fields_in_find'
authinfo element.  Alternately, you can use one of the advanced row retrieval
methods (searchargs or resultset).

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

None known currently, please email the author if you find any.
