I am following both the tutorials in the CakePHP 3 documentation and I am trying to get the login functionality working, but so far I have no luck. I have a Users table with the 2 fields 'username' and 'password'. The password is hashed with `(new DefaultPasswordHasher)->hash($password);`
After I enter the username and password, I do get into the login function, but the `$this->Auth->identify();` never returns an user. The post data is filled, but the password is not hashed yet. I assume this happens in `$this->Auth->identify();`? Could anyone tell me what I ma doing wrong? I am not getting any errors I could work with. I have the following form: <?php if(!is_null($this->request->session()->read('Auth.User.username'))) { echo 'logged in'; } else { echo $this->Form->create('User', array('action' => 'login')); echo $this->Form->input('username', [ 'class' => 'w3-input', 'placeholder' => 'username', 'label' => false ]); echo $this->Form->input('password', [ 'class' => 'w3-input', 'placeholder' => 'password', 'label' => false ]); echo $this->Form->button('Login', [ 'class' => 'w3-btn' ]); echo $this->Form->end(); } ?> this is my AppController: public function initialize() { parent::initialize(); $this->loadComponent('Flash'); $this->loadComponent('Auth', [ 'scope' => [ 'Users.active' => 1 ], 'authenticate' => [ 'Form' => [ 'fields' => [ 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password' ] ] ], 'loginAction' => [ 'controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'login' ], 'logoutRedirect' => [ 'controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'homepage' ] ]); $this->layout = 'creed'; } In the query it uses (she bottom of post), it never uses the scope at all or the password field. And this is my login function: public function login() { if($this->request->is('post')) { $user = $this->Auth->identify(); if($user) { $this->Auth->setUser($user); return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl()); } } } This is the query that is being used in the login function SELECT `Users`.`id` AS `Users__id`, `Users`.`username` AS `Users__username`, `Users`.`password` AS `Users__password`, `Users`.`email` AS `Users__email`, `Users`.`level` AS `Users__level`, `Users`.`image` AS `Users__image`, `Users`.`signature` AS `Users__signature`, `Users`.`active` AS `Users__active`, `Users`.`date_joined` AS `Users__date_joined` FROM `users` `Users` WHERE `Users`.`username` = 'DijkeMark' LIMIT 1 This returns 1 result, because there is a user in the DB with this name. But the password field is not being used. I also baked the Entity and the Table file, so that should be correct too. I really start to hate CakePHP and it's authentication system, because I have done everything I am supposed to do and it gives not a single error on what I am doing wrong. -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
