# Aug 6th 2008, 16:58 TommyO Mathachew: and why is Auth redirecting?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:58 Mathachew I feel like I'm repeating myself
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:58 francky06l Mathachew: and?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:58 Mathachew but Auth is redirecting.
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:58 Mathachew That's what I'm trying to do
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:58 francky06l Mathachew: it's simple really ... create an anonymous user, in beforeFilter check this user ..if not autheticated, affect him the anonymous user ..
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 Mathachew That's what I have!
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 TommyO Mathachew: yes! that's what I'm saying. deny all, allow specific actions
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 Mathachew TommyO: Again, only authenticated users are getting through, anonymous users are redirected
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 Mathachew but I guess I can't rely on Auth now
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 francky06l Mathachew: I guess your problem is you want to control the "bla" in allow ?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 TommyO why are you checking permissions if everyone gets throguh for that action?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 Mathachew I only want to force login if permission is initially denied
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:57 Mathachew That's not how I want to check my permissions
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:56 Mathachew bah.
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:56 TommyO $this->Auth->allow('action'); again
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:56 francky06l TommyO: yes allso ....
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:56 Mathachew TommyO: That's exactly what I'm aiming for
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:56 TommyO that is the same as giving anonymous access + user access
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:56 TommyO why not let all users, authenticated or not, to these actions?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:56 francky06l Mathachew: so why not affect the same user to the non authenticaed users?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:55 Mathachew but they're not checked
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:55 Mathachew the permissions are setup so that if checked, they were been granted
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:55 Mathachew let me rephrase that
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:55 TommyO *sigh*
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:55 Mathachew francky06l: no... my problem is granting permission to a controller/action on unauthenticated users, which it does, but since they're not logged in, they're redirected to the login screen
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:54 francky06l Mathachew: then your problem is to identify this users ?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:54 TommyO like Controller/action
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:53 Mathachew francky06l: I have an anonymous group. I already have it setup so that it applies this group's permissions to the user if they're not logged in. Authenticated users will have a specified group when they're added and such, permissions are inherited
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:53 TommyO ACL is a specific means of access control. there are many, many other ways
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:53 Mathachew How is access to an action not ACL?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:53 francky06l Mathachew: you can then create a User for them (I mean a fake one) ?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:52 TommyO Mathachew: no. can be determined by a model, ACL, a custom component, a controller, anything you want
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:52 Mathachew yep
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:52 francky06l Mathachew: is all the anonymous are to have the same rigthts?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:52 TommyO regardless of before or after in beforeFIlter - it happens in startup anyway, AFTER beforeFilter
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:52 Mathachew how's that not tying itself to it?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:52 Mathachew 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
