Hi, I've created an Ldap component that connects to an Active directory server to do authentication. The ldap componet works well and I'm using it for a number of applications.
I created a custom authentication component (MyAuth) that overrides the isAuthorized and hashPasswords function. MyAuth also contains a login function. This function checks with the database to see if a user should be authenticated via the password in the database or the active directory. My app_controller looks like so: function beforeFilter() { if (isset($this->Auth)) { $this->Auth->userScope = array('User.active' => 'True'); $this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password'); $this->Auth->loginAction = '/users/login'; $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/users/index'; $this->Auth->authError = 'You are not authorized to access that location.'; $this->Auth->autoRedirect = false; $this->Auth->authorize = 'object'; $this->Auth->object = $this->MyAuth; $this->Auth->authenticate = $this->MyAuth; $this->Auth->loginRedirect = $this->Session- >read('Auth.from'); //$this->Auth->allow('*'); // for testing only } } My Users/login function looks like this: function login() { $user_id = $this->Auth->user('id'); if (!empty($user_id) && $this->Session->valid()) { $this->redirect('/users/index'); } if (!empty($this->data)) { if (!$this->MyAuth->login($this->data)) { $this->set('error_code', -2); } else { $this->redirect('/users/index'); } } } The problem is that Auth->startup is called before $this->MyAuth- >login(). The Auth startup automatically tries to do Auth->login if there is a username and password. In most cases this is fine except when I have a user with a password in the database and that user is also set to authenticate via the active directory. Is there anyway I can force cake to use my authentication only? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
