Re: Authentication Issue

The Auth component set the session automatically so if not working something else is going wrong. Try this:
in the before filter method:
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false

and then in login method
if ( $this->Auth->user() )
      debug ( $this->Session->read( 'Auth' ); exit;

and check the session data and the sql log to see if authentication succeed correctly

Hi,

I'm using cakephp 1.3 and very new to php. I have a basic
Authentication Screen and it works well.

The problem i have is when i login, depending on the roleid of the
user, it should be redirected to different page, which i donno how .

Example

User Table

UserId int pk
username varchar
password varchar
roleid int

Users_Controller

<?php
class UsersController extends AppController
{
   var $name = 'Users';
  var $components = array('Auth');

   function beforeFilter()
   {

       parent::beforeFilter();
       $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'index');

   }
   function index()
   {

        $this->set('users', $this->User->find('all'));
   }

   function login()
   {
   }
   function logout()
   {
       $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
   }
}


?>


User Model

<?php
class User extends AppModel
{
 var $primaryKey = 'UserID';

 var $validate = array('username' => array('rule' =>
'notEmpty','message'=> 'Empty'));}
?>


View

<div class="user">
<?php
 $session->flash('');
$session->flash('auth'); ?>

<?php echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'login'));?>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
 <tr>
       <td align="center">
           <table width="30%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="15">
               <tr>
                   <td class="label1">
                       User Name:
                   </td>
                   <td>
                     <?php echo $form-
>input('username',array('label'=>false));?>
                   </td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td class="label1">
                       Password:
                   </td>
                   <td class="label1">
                       <?php echo $form-
>input('password',array('label'=>false));?>
                   </td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td colspan="2" class="button">
                       <center><?php echo $form->end('Sign In');?></
center>
                   </td>
               </tr>
           </table>
       </td>
   </tr>
</table>

</div>


Now, if the user role is admin I need to redirect to Events, if Member
redirect to Home........

Also how do I store the authenticated user in the Session. Its not
happening.



Thanks
