Thanks for the reply Chris. I'm talking about an authentication system, the ACL part is too simple to bother using someone elses system unless of course this one is simple enough.
I've found lots of "add-on" auth components for cake but no CakePHP branded authentication component. There's othAuth, dAuth, rbAuth, simpleAuth, obAuthl... but I personally think there is too many and when ever I reference them they are always changing or maybe I just can't find the one I look at last because they all have the same name. I did find the security component which is pretty useful but I haven't found an authentication component in the cake libs. Is there somewhere I'm not looking? Anyways, a good article or post about this would be invaluable so please let me know if you do. Oh and good luck with your lawn, my apartment didn't come with one so atleast you have one. -- Matt On Sep 9, 5:55 am, "Chris Hartjes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 9/8/07, Matt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I've starting my first cake site, yum cake! > > > One of the first decisions I've wondering I've trying to make is to do > > my own auth system or use one of the many being actively developed.
