So far, this is the code I have in my users_controller
$username = getenv('USER');
$user = $this->User->findByUsername($username);
$this->Auth->login($user);
Unfortunately I can't find a way to force home.ctp to make the user
login without removing the display line from my app controller.
$this->Auth->allowedActions = array('display');
When I remove this line it is unable to load home.ctp. I need the page
to load inorder to use getenv('USER');
Does anyone know the syntax to force the login function but keep
home.ctp available?
