CakePHP-Authentification-Plugin

Plugin used to manage authentifications easily on CakePhp 2.x

Setup

You need to clone the files into an "Authentification" directory in app/Plugin. Then, add this CakePlugin::load in the app bootstrap and active the plugin bootstrap:

CakePlugin::load('Authentification', array('routes' => true));

Use the new SimpleForm and SimpleBasic Auth types

These new auth systems use a config instead of "users" table, just put users in bootstrap, the role is now mandatory:

Configure::write('Users', array (
    'Authentification.SimpleForm' => array (
        'username' => 'admin',
        'password' => 'admin',
        'role'     => 'admin'
    )
));

Use the Authentification Component in your AppController

For example:

public $components = array(
    'Authentification.Authentification' => array(
        'authenticate' => array('Authentification.SimpleForm' => array('prefix' => 'admin')),
        'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'index'),
        'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'page', 'action' => 'index')
    )
);

Prefix must match with the role of the user, here the SimpleForm method is used to connect the admin role to the admin section of the Web site.

Use differents auth on the same Web site

It is possible to add a Basic connection on the entire site and still keep the Form one on the admin section:

public $components = array(
    'Authentification.Authentification' => array(
        'authenticate' => array(
            'Authentification.SimpleBasic',
            'Authentification.SimpleForm' => array('prefix' => 'admin')
        )
    )
);
