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?
