--- Comment #2 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
I'm making some good progress here.

I've created some methods like Koha::Auth->is_authenticated and
Koha::Auth->is_authorized, and then implemented those in a Mojolicious
application mounted in plack.psgi at 'intranet/staff'.

(The Koha::Auth->is_authenticated is used to cover all routes in the Mojo
startup() function, while Koha::Auth->is_authorized is implemented in a
"helper", which allows it to be easily and cleanly used in Mojo controller
actions.)

I need to refactor C4::Auth to create a "is_timed_out" function and add that to
Koha::Auth->is_authenticated, but otherwise these should be nearly ready.

I should probably rename "is_authorized" to "authorize" as it actually
authorizes the user.

The "is_authenticated" is just a check though. If it fails, the plan is to
redirect the user to a login page or internally use a Mojo login controller. I
need to put some more thought into that.
