Hi Nathan,
I've just finished setting up my project with separated auths.
Here is basically what I did:
In AppController, created a method to setup Auth Configurations:
private function setAuthType($type) {
switch ($type) {
case "admin":
$sessionKey = 'Auth.Admin.User';
$username = 'email';
$password = 'password';
$userModel = 'User';
$displayField = 'email';
$authType = 'Form';
break;
case "user":
$sessionKey = 'Auth.User';
$username = 'email';
$password = 'password';
$userModel = 'Member';
$displayField = 'email';
$authType = 'Form';
break;
}
AuthComponent::$sessionKey = $sessionKey;
$this->Auth->authenticate = array(
$authType => array(
'fields' => array(
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password
),
'userModel' => $userModel
)
);
$this->Auth->authorize['Actions']['userModel'] = $userModel;
}
The AuthComponent allows you to define which will be your UserModel and
wich will be your SessionKey.
You can get the current user simply using the method $this->Auth->user();
This way you can check if its an user or a student.
Hope it helps!
Best Regards,
Vinicius
