Hi I've been trying to get AuthComponent to use Cookies instead of Session variables. I want to store user-information encrypted onto client-side cookies since they're a lot easier to scale than Sessions.
I tried to do this by copying AuthController to /app/Controller/Component/AuthController.php and then added 'Cookie' to its $components array, and finally removed the 'static' keyword from all the functions in the class using Cookie component. This is not giving any errors (I haven't tried logging in yet because the other parts of my app aren't ready yet, but I think it should work now). What I wanted to know is why CakePHP has chosen Session variables over encrypted client-side storage of information for scalability purposes? At least the AuthComponent should have a 'cookies' parameter to switch between Sessions and Cookies. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
