Hello all, Has anyone ever tried to implement _optional_ HTTP authentication?
Typical use case: - Users provide username and password via form at /users/login. - Username/password is POSTed to /users/login and user is authenticated by AuthComponent - User is then logged in an can access secured pages Desired use case - Users can still login as above - A service (i.e. response time monitoring software) wishes to access a secured page. - Service provides username/password via HTTP basic or digest authentication at the time secured page is requested - User is logged in via AuthComponent automagic and appears to application logic accessing AuthComponent to be no different that if user had logged in via typical use case. - Request for secured page succeeds The key here is that a user can login via post to /users/login OR at page request time via HTTP authentication. Any code or comments will be greatly appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
