I have to tell the Auth model to allow access to an action that ACL would determine |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:52 |
francky06l |
Mathachew: you can check before Auth in beforeFilter .. |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
Mathachew |
hear me out |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
Mathachew |
no no no |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
TommyO |
ACTION gives up talking to the wall |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
Mathachew |
I know that |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
TommyO |
allow() is not ACL |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
Mathachew |
oh but it is |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
TommyO |
Mathachew: absolutely not |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
Mathachew |
so Auth is tying itself to the ACL, in a manner of speaking |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:51 |
francky06l |
TommyO: you can check before you give the Auth instruction .... I guess |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:50 |
francky06l |
Mathachew: well you have to check something in app_controller before to set the Auth parameter, but .... easy ? |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:50 |
TommyO |
Mathachew: ughh is right. your problem is Auth component automatically redirecting because the user isn't logged in and not allow()'ed. allow for that action and your problem disappears |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:49 |
Mathachew |
they have permission to read the controller, but they're redirected anywayh |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:49 |
Mathachew |
My problem is the Auth component automatically redirecting because the user isn't logged in |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:49 |
Mathachew |
ugh |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:49 |
Mathachew |
I don't want to specify $this->Auth->allow() in each controller I create when my custom ACL will allow/deny access to the controller's action |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:49 |
francky06l |
Mathachew: again, I do not know what your implementation is ..but seems quite easy to check if a user is authenticated or not, if not authenticate him as anonymous.. |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:48 |
Mathachew |
everything else is working |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:48 |
Mathachew |
I have everything I want in place except for anonymous users |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:48 |
Mathachew |
No, it's not what I want |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:48 |
TommyO |
which is what you want |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:48 |
Mathachew |
I know |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:48 |
TommyO |
if you allow(),, then they're NOT redirected |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:48 |
TommyO |
Mathachew: allow() has nothing to do with ACL. it has to do with whether an unauthenticated user gets redirected |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:47 |
Mathachew |
My default user is anonymous and permissions are created for the anonymous user, my problem is the Authentication being triggered when I don't need it to |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:47 |
francky06l |
Mathachew: well then if you have your own I do not know .... I am quite familiar with cake's native one ..... |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:47 |
francky06l |
Mathachew: I have solved this kind of problem by having a "default" user .... then you can have ACL on it ... everyone that has got a new session (or non Auth variable) get the same Auth variable ...contralable by ACL |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:46 |
Mathachew |
TommyO: I couldn't create an interface to work well with Cake's ACL, so I have my own, which is working, but the authentication is causing the problem for anonymous users |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:46 |
Mathachew |
francky06l: I don't see what you mean... I have the permissions in place to authorize the user, regardless if they're logged in, but the problem is that anonymous users are given the login screen |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:46 |
TommyO |
Mathachew: it can be. how is it not dynamic? what needs to be dynamic? |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:45 |
Mathachew |
TommyO: Having to specify $this->Auth->allow() doesn't work for me because that's not a dynamic solution |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:44 |
TommyO |
will allow un-authenticated users to a specific action |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:44 |
francky06l |
Mathachew: well either you do not care of the user hit, then you do not need ACL .... or you do then you can verify it |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:44 |
TommyO |
Mathachew: ^^^^ |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:43 |
Mathachew |
francky06l: and manually checking the user's permission returns true, but they are still automatically redirecte |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:43 |
francky06l |
Mathachew: yes and ? |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:43 |
Mathachew |
I have a permission system in place |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:43 |
TommyO |
no need to trigger isAuthorized at all |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:43 |
TommyO |
$this->Auth->allow('action'); |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 16:43 |
Mathachew |
francky06l: I have a conditional, if the user is logged in, do this, if not, do that |
