I had to do this as I wanted a site that was protected by lots of unique
codes (ie. usernames) but no passwords. The way I did it was by doing the
following in my users_controller.php:
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->fields['password'] = 'username';
$this->Auth->authenticate = $this->User;
}
.. and in my user.php model:
function hashPasswords( $data ) {
return $data;
}
The hashPasswords() function basically returns the password as is (in
clear-text) so that I can lookup the code in my users table. I just have a
"username" column and no password column.
I doubt this is the ideal way to do it, but it works for me.
