Assuming you have a way to retrieve necessary data from the finger print system, you can create a whatever key (name, login time etc) in a session array (and easier via cakePHP). And create a function, say, checkLogin() which checks if the user name is in the session or the time is ok, and put this function in any controller where you need to check login status. If checkLogin() fails update the finger print system and tell that to the user and redirect to login page, for php (cakePHP) side, if session date is left delete it.
I'm not sure if what you're trying to do is something complicated but I thought it was as simple like that.. If time-out must not be lousy check, you'd have to periodically trigger time-check function, this you may need to implement in javascript or some other way. Anyway, ACL itself is not about stuff like this. If your auth scheme is complicated (many permission levels, sections, etc) it would help implimenting *that* part but not auth system at all. Not sure I'm least helping tho... On May 17, 3:01 pm, joe west <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Haj, > > Thank you for your reply. I have no problem parcing the XML data.
