Hi,
I'm trying to add the Auth component to my app,
I'm using a custom database/model called accounts (database/table:
accounts, model: Account).
The database uses the fields;
= e-mail (acts as username)
= password
= ( ... other non-important fields)
I've configured the app controller as such;
==
<?php
class AppController extends Controller {
var $components = array('Auth','Session');
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforefilter();
//configure AUTH component
$this->Auth->userModel = 'Account';
$this->Auth->loginAction = '/Accounts/login';
$this->Auth->fields =
array('username'=>'email','password'=>'password');
$this->Auth->allow('*');
$this->Auth->userScope = array('Account.status' => 'normal');
$this->Auth->loginError = 'Invalid login details - please try
again / reset password';
$this->Auth->authError = 'You must be logged in to visit -
please login / register';
}
}
?>
==
In the accounts controller I've got;
==
<?php
class AccountsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Accounts';
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->deny('index');
}
function login() {
}
function logout() {
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
}
?>
==
And finally made the login view
==
<?php echo $form->create('Account', array('action' => 'login')); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php __('Login'); ?></legend>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('email', array('div' => 'v input',
'label' => array('text' => 'E-mail', 'class' => 'label')));
echo $this->Form->input('password', array('div' => 'v input',
'label' => array('text' => 'Password', 'class' => 'label')));
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(array('label' => 'Login', 'div' =>
'span-2'));?>
==
The problem I have is, if I visit "example.com/Accounts/" I get sent
to "example.com/Accounts/login" as expected complete with error
message, this is fine.
However when I login I end up back at "example.com/accounts/login".
Every time I login I get sent back to this action, there is no error
message so I assume it is correctly checking the database or I'd get
an ugly php error, and cake doesn't produce an auth error.
So I thought either the login is working and for some reason always
redirects back to the login page, or the login is nether actually
being done.
In regards to the '$this->Auth->fields =
array('username'=>'email','password'=>'password');' bit in the app
controller I'm unsure as to what I then use in the login form, I've
tried using "email" and "username" in the login view but it makes no
difference.
Does anybody know why this is happening or how I can fix it? I found
the cake documentation a little light passed the setting up the
database part, and couldn't find any guides that dealt with
straightforward authentication, they all involve using ACL and or some
other permissions based system on top of auth.
Anyway if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated,
thanks, Felix.
