The AuthComponent automatically hashes the password field. In
addition, it'll take care of authenticating the user for you. This is
why you need only include an empty login() method in UsersController.
If you need to perform any additional logic upon login, you just put
that in login(). The actual authentication will be done for you.
As an example, if you want to record the login time for a user:
public function login()
{
/* check if authentication has been successful
*/
if ($data = $this->Auth->user())
{
$this->User->Login->create();
/* logins.created column exists so time will
* be recorded automatically
*/
$this->User->Login->save(
array(
'Login' => array(
'user_id' => $data['User']['id']
)
)
);
$this->redirect($this->Auth->loginRedirect);
}
}
Note that there's no need to fetch and compare user data. The
component does this for you. See the startup() method for details
