# Aug 6th 2008, 17:01 TommyO I said you don't need ACL
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 Mathachew do my checking before Auth comes in
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 TommyO nope
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 Mathachew well that's what you're telling me to do
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 Mathachew right?
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 TommyO no
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 Mathachew ACL before Authentication
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 TommyO AuthComponent helps with both if you let it
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 TommyO Auth(orization) is different than Auth(entication)
# Aug 6th 2008, 17:00 francky06l Mathachew: no, it's more simple
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:59 TommyO Auth does its check AFTER beforeFilter and before the action is called
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:59 Mathachew ACL before Auth, right?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:59 Mathachew so I use Auth after I've established permissions
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:59 francky06l Mathachew: some code of you beforeFilter?
# Aug 6th 2008, 16:59 francky06l Mathachew: you have to check before Auth does
# 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
