Re: Redirect all webpages under webroot to login page

Webpages located under app/webroot aren't subject to processing the same way that controllers are.

If you have static pages that require authentication, then I would suggest usage of the Pages controller (http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/controllers/pages-controller.html), and relocate those static pages under app/Views/Pages. You'll probably also need to update the extensions from .htm(l) to .ctp, and make use of the Router to allow the .htm(l) extension.

I am using cakephp 2.4.5. I would like to redirect all users who have not logged in to a login page. I basically followed the instructions here http://miftyisbored.com/a-complete-login-and-authentication-application-tutorial-for-cakephp-2-3/

In summary, the important part is the following code to AppController.php

public $components = array('Session',                              'Auth' => array(                                  'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'index'),                                  'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'),                                  'authError' => 'You must be logged in to view this page.',                                  'loginError' => 'Invalid Username or Password entered, please try again.'                                      ));

Any websites with this URL format http://localhost/cakephp245/controllers/XXX will be re-directed to the login page. However, websites that are located inside webroot with URL that looks like thishttp://localhost/cakephp245/app/webroot/XXX will not be re-directed to the login page.
How can I force websites located inside app/webroot folder to be re-directed to the login page?
Thank you very much.
