I'm working with Cake right now, and I thought that ACL was my answer to this question, but it seems that Cake's ACL (ACL in general, I suppose) only deals with roles, etc:
"It should be noted that ACL is *not* a system that is meant to authenticate users. You should already have a way to store user information and be able to verify that user's identity when they enter the system." Well, this is all good and well, but the user authentication systems I develop, while being functional, leave quite a bit to be desired, and I really wouldn't trust them beyond the limited purposes for which I've deployed them. To put it simply, I expect that a framework like this one would make developing a sane user authentication system a bit easier for a developer like myself. So, how should I go about developing a user authentication system in Cake? Are these links the best starting point: * http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2007/09/11/a-hopefully-useful-tutorial-for-using-cakephps-auth-component/ * http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/871ff4c536bc1e00 Or should I look elsewhere? A search of "user authentication" under Code in the Bakery returns nothing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
