I spent a long time on this so I thought I'd share it with the community. I was wracking my brain trying to get Auth to work properly on a site I'm testing locally in Firefox 3. No matter what I did, the application locked me out with a message stating "You are not authorized...". I read several blog posts about Auth and the entry in the manual over and over.
Then on a whim I tested the same site in Safari and got totally different results. Today I looked at my Firefox cookies and noticed that there were two CakePHP cookies. One current (presumably from just having logged in) and one expired. I deleted the expired cookie and the application worked. Here are the specifics: Cake 1.2.0.7125 RC1 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/ 2008061004 Firefox/3.0 I'm not sure if this is a fluke, a Firefox bug or a CakePHP bug. I just thought I'd share what I found in case anyone else is troubleshooting Auth and is having trouble. The upside to this story is that I learned an awful lot about CakePHP Auth in the process. Here a list of articles I found helpful: http://www.webdevelopment2.com/cakephp-auth-component-tutorial-1/ http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2007/09/11/a-hopefully-useful-tutorial-for-using-cakephps-auth-component/ http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/simple-form-authentication-in-1-2-x-x http://lemoncake.wordpress.com/2007/07/19/using-authcomponent-and-acl-in-cakephp-12/ http://realm3.com/articles/setting_up_users_groups_withacl_and_auth_in_cake_1.2.php --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
