Has anyone else seen this, it appears to only happen when using the auth component with cookies. If I have an e-mail that begins with a number, the auth component authenticates the wrong user. It takes whatever the leading number is and logs in the user with the ID of that number, instead of the user with the correct e-mail address. Any other e-mail account login works fine, as long as it doesn't begin with a number.
Here's what my code looks like: In my User Model I use this to check the login and find the correct user: function checkLogin($email) { $user = $this->findByEmail($email); if ($user) { return $user; } return null; } In my AppController: $this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'); $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/'; $this->Auth->loginError = 'Either your Email or Password are incorrect. Please try again'; $this->Auth->authError = 'Please Log In before attempting to access this page.'; $this->Auth->autoRedirect = false; $cookie = $this->Cookie->read('User'); if (is_array($cookie) && !$this->Auth->user()) { $loginUser = $this->User->checkLogin($cookie['email']); if (isset($loginUser)){ $loginSuccess = $this->Auth->login($loginUser); if (!$loginSuccess){ $this->Cookie->del('User'); } } } And in my UsersController: function login() { if ($this->Auth->User()){ if (!empty($this->data)){ if (!($this->data['User']['remember'])){ $this->Cookie->del('User'); } else { $cookie = array(); $cookie['email'] = $this->data['User']['email']; $this->Cookie->write('User',$cookie,true,'+2 weeks'); } unset($this->data['User']['remember']); } $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect()); } } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
