Hello everyone, So I'm designing a web site that has a very specific architecture. _Some_ of the data is handled by a Java RESTful web service (there is a database as well). There are actually two things stored which I would like to have as models:
1) Users 2) Documents However, there are permissions as well (which I don' t have to handle), meaning that not all users have access to all documents. The authentication is done with http basic auth, so if a user wants to access document XYZ, he performs a get on /documents/XYZ with his user and password. So, when a user logs in to the web site, the application will have to store the username and password in the session and then make requests in the background to the web service with them to access documents. What is the best way to implement this using CakePHP? I thought of designing a custom data source which will be given the username and password once the user logs in. Is this a good approach and can you please give any advises on this? Thank you in advance, Josip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
