I'm trying to design the login process in a particular way, but am
having trouble using the Auth component and would really appreciate
some assistance.
First of all, this is my app_controller.php file:
<?php
class AppController extends Controller {
var $components = array( 'Auth', 'Session' );
}
?>
These are the functions in users_controller:
function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->fields = array(
'username' => 'email',
'password' => 'password' );
$this->Auth->allow( '*' );
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array( 'controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'home' );
parent::beforeFilter();
}
function login() {
}
function logout() {
$this->redirect( $this->Auth->logout() );
}
Finally, this is my login.ctp file in app/views/users/
<?php
echo $session->flash( 'auth' );
echo $form->create( 'User', array( 'action' => 'login' ) );
echo $form->input( 'email', array( 'type' => 'text' ) );
echo $form->input( 'password' );
echo $form->end( 'Login' );
?>
This is all taken pretty much from book.cakephp.org. The first trouble
I'm having is that I can't get out of the login page mydomain.com/
users/login. Login seems to be successful because when I try an
incorrect password I get the login failed message. With the correct
password, however, I'm just taken back to the login action. If I try
to go to another action, even just the home page, I'm redirected to
the login action again. When I login I see pages/home flash briefly,
but then it returns to users/login. All of the links on the default
page (such as /pages/about_us, etc.) just keep me at users/login.
Isn't the line that says $this->Auth->allow( '*' ) going to allow me
to see any page when I'm not logged in and if I am logged in shouldn't
it allow me to go elsewhere in the system?
Please help me understand what I'm doing incorrectly.
Thanks,
Chuck
