Hello monks!
I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, but I can't seem to find my problem. I am trying to get the hang of the Catalyst framework, and right now I am playing around with authentication. Every time I try to authenticate a login, I get the following message in the Catalyst debug output:

[error] authenticate called with nonexistant realm: 'default'.

In lib/MyApp.pm, authentication is configured as following:

__PACKAGE__->config( 'Plugin::Authentication' => {
        use_session => 1,
        default_realm => 'default',
        
        default => {
            credentials => {
                class => 'Password',
                password_field => 'Password',
                password_type => 'hashed',
                password_hash_type => 'SHA-1'
            },
            store => {
                class => 'DBIx::Class',
                user_model => 'MyDB::Users',
                id_field => 'Username',
                use_userdata_from_session => 1
            }
        }
    }
);

And my login/authentication code is as follows:

sub base :Chained('/') :PathPart('myapp') :CaptureArgs(0) {}

sub unauthenticated :Chained('base') :PathPart('authentication') :Capt
+ureArgs(0) {}

sub login :Chained('unauthenticated') :PathPart('login') :ActionClass(
+'REST') {}
sub login_POST
{
    my $this = shift;
    my $c = shift;
    
    my $username = $c->request->data->{'username'} || '';
    my $password = $c->request->data->{'password'} || '';
    
    if($username eq '' ||
        $password eq '')
    {
        $this->status_bad_request(
            $c,
            message => "Invalid username or password"
        );
        $c->dispatch('end');
    
    my $is_authenticated = $c->authenticate(
        {
            username => $username,
            password => $password
        }
    );
    
    if(! $is_authenticated)
    {
        $this->status_bad_request(
            $c,
            message => "Invalid username or password"
        );
        $c->dispatch('end');
    }
}

Any suggestion of where the error might be would be greatly appreciated.
