Are you talking about Authentication (where you verify that people have a valid login and password for a site) or Access Control (where you determine if someone has the proper privileges to access a particular page). People often mix the two together. If you want to use Authentication and some really simple Access Control, you can use CakePHP's Auth component. Then, by specifying that you wish to use either a method in the controller or a method in a model you can do simple access control. I have done this on two different sites now, both CDC projects (one internal, one under development for a client and not ready to show the world yet). I was thinking about this while outside putting fertilizer on my lawn in a vain attempt to improve it's scrubby appearance and I think that I need to do a blog post about how to use Auth, collecting all the information I've seen around plus my experience with it as well. -- Chris Hartjes Senior Developer Cake Development Corporation My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
