Re: Quick Auth component issue
Hey guys, thanks for the responses.
So it looks like i was doing everything correctly except one minor
thing. I was using md5 to encrypt my passwords, however the Auth
component does not default to md5, so i had to set it. Then i had to
modify the Security.salt key to blank in order for authorization to be
complete.
While i was having the issues, i was trying to look into the user
details being sent to the login action, i was trying to see the
password field, which kept coming up blank. Im not sure why i was
seeing a blank password field in the data object, but $this-
>data['User']['password'] was not showing any value. Anyways,
authentication now works for me, and if anyone know if i was either
using a wrong method to debug the issue, or another reason why
password was blank it would be just nice to know.
Thanks for all the help.

Re: Quick Auth component issue
Because there are so many bits and pieces associated with Auth, it's hard to diagnose your problem without ALL your code. However, let's try the reverse. Look at these: http://book.cakephp.org/view/172/authentication http://www.webdevelopment2.com/cakephp-auth-component-tutorial-1/(downloadable code sample) And see if you're missing anything.

Have you tried the various tutorials out there as there are quite a few good ones. Some of them are even on my blog listed below.

Re: Quick Auth component issue
This is what my form looks like:
create('User',array('action' => 'login')); ?>
error('User.username'); ?>
input('User.username',
array('label'=>'Username') ); ?>
error('User.passwd'); ?>
input('User.passwd', array('label'=>'Password') ); ?
>
submit('Submit', array('class' => 'submit')); ?>
I don't name my field to be password, because that causes problems
with MySQL, so I name it passwd instead. Maybe that is your problem?
And your login() function in the UsersController is empty, right?
