Re: Help with Cake Auth - Manual Login

What values are you passing inside of the $user array. I assume just a username and what else?

This is the working code I have:

if($this->Auth->login($user['User']))

Using this, I was able to force log my users in via Facebook. Do a find for the user and pass the User array.

I'm running into a issue here, trying to get Cake to manually log a user in. Here is what I am trying to accomplish.

I'm using a XML-RPC to log the user in to Vbulletin from Cakephp, what I get back are some cookies, and user info. On the CakePhp Side of things, I have a Users table, which contains:

1. id

2. vbulletinid

3. username

4. avatar

5. created

6. modified

Now, when you're on the Cake side of things, and you log in, within my login() method, I grab the following, for the xml-rpc call:

$username = $this->request->data['User']['username'];

$password = $this->request->data['User']['password'];

If the response is valid, and the user is logged in remotely to vbulletin, I then insert the user into the Users table. If they're already in there, I just update the username and avatar, etc.

So, I was trying to do the following, to force the login:

$this->Auth->login($user)

Where $user contained:

Array

(

    [User] => Array

        (

            [id] => 13

            [username] => testuser

        )

)

I thought everything was working, until I turned off the Debugkit plugin. Then, it seems like my login is not working actually. With it turned off, I can't force Cake to log my current user in.

Anyone have any ideas on how to force a login?
