# May 7th 2021, 22:20 thomas078 and that old inAuthorized is not called nomore
# May 7th 2021, 22:20 thomas078 I guess this is now with Authorization plugin
# May 7th 2021, 22:19 thomas078 ok. Authentication set. Now basic Authorization. I used to do it like: public function isAuthorized($user)
# May 7th 2021, 22:12 ndm yes
# May 7th 2021, 22:12 thomas078 So, basically with that i can manually set it
# May 7th 2021, 22:11 thomas078 ok. Got it. I was confused as Authentication already worked :)
# May 7th 2021, 22:10 ndm That method _can_ be used to manually authenticate an identity, or to update a persisted identity (for example in the session). You don't _have_ to use it for authentication to work.
# May 7th 2021, 22:07 thomas078 This is confusing. Maybe after identifying user i have to setIdentity as well? ```$user = $this->Users->find()->where(['Users.id' => $this->Authentication->getIdentityData('id')])->first();` $this->Authentication->setIdentity($user);``` ?
# May 7th 2021, 22:01 thomas078 what does it even do as i can anyway call logged in users with $this->Authentication->getIdentity()
# May 7th 2021, 22:01 thomas078 Second question. In Auth component it was like $this->Auth->setUser($user);. Do i need to call ```// Persist the user into configured authenticators. $this->Authentication->setIdentity($user);```
# May 7th 2021, 22:00 thomas078 ?
# May 7th 2021, 22:00 thomas078 for e.g i can call like debug($this->Authentication->getIdentityData('role')); and i will get my role, is this the correct way to do it
# May 7th 2021, 21:59 thomas078 debug($this->Authentication->getIdentity()); Getting the identify object will all correct. Littlebit confused what is the correct way to get actual information. Identifiers?
# May 7th 2021, 21:04 tyler.adam.lazenby its for a CI
# May 7th 2021, 21:04 tyler.adam.lazenby Does anybody have any docker files they would be willing to share for cakephp 4.x and php8.0
# May 7th 2021, 20:45 thomas078 will start to play with that now
# May 7th 2021, 20:45 thomas078 cool. Thanks
# May 7th 2021, 20:43 slackebot ] ); }```
# May 7th 2021, 20:43 kevin.pfeifer if you want to have specific actions without authentication, then yes, they should be placed in the beforeFilter in the controller like ``` public function beforeFilter( \Cake\Event\EventInterface $event ) { parent::beforeFilter( $event ); // Configure the login action to not require authentication, preventing // the infinite redirect loop issue $this->Authentication->addUnauthenticatedActions( [ 'login'
# May 7th 2021, 20:42 thomas078 @kevin.pfeifer Thanks. Thats it. Best place to set it is at controllers beforeFilter?
# May 7th 2021, 20:35 kevin.pfeifer like it is stated here: https://book.cakephp.org/authentication/2/en/index.html#getting-started
# May 7th 2021, 20:34 kevin.pfeifer do you have ```$this->loadComponent( 'Authentication.Authentication' );``` in your AppController.php initialize function?
# May 7th 2021, 20:30 thomas078 Any idea where to look
# May 7th 2021, 20:30 thomas078 trying my best to migrate Auth component to Authentication. debug($this->Authentication); on my UsersController is giving me ```Undefined property: UsersController::$Authentication in /src/Controller/UsersController.php on line 72 [CORE/src/Controller/Controller.php, line 387]```
# May 7th 2021, 17:49 mehov Okay, no surrogate it is then! Somehow never tried using a composite key, so this is about time. Thanks again for the advice guys :)
# May 7th 2021, 17:39 kevin.pfeifer I don't even have Foreign Key constraints set on my database, I just let cakephp handle all that ,:)
# May 7th 2021, 17:37 ndm Technically it doesn't even need to be a real constraint, but just defined in the table class, but that won't work with auto-tables.
# May 7th 2021, 17:35 ndm Again, all is needed is a primary key constraint, it doesn't matter whether it's an additional field, or whether it's created over the existing foreign key fields.
# May 7th 2021, 17:31 kevin.pfeifer but from a pure cakephp standpoint it isn't necesarry for a pure N:M aka HABTM connection between 2 tables
# May 7th 2021, 17:30 kevin.pfeifer if you don't have any additional data that needs to be stored inside that junction table then you are fine without the id. If you need it for future data that needs to be stored inside there then sure, the ID is needed
# May 7th 2021, 17:27 mehov Thank you Kevin! Also reading https://blog.jooq.org/2019/03/26/the-cost-of-useless-surrogate-keys-in-relationship-tables/ right now, they do say unnecessary surrogate keys are bad for performance. So I will try to go ahead without it this time. Thanks again!
# May 7th 2021, 17:22 kevin.pfeifer see this comment and the one bellow it
# May 7th 2021, 17:21 kevin.pfeifer 1. no you don't need a seperate id column 2. if you stick with the cakephp naming conventions for table and column names it should auto-generate just fine with `cake bake all tablename`
# May 7th 2021, 17:20 mehov Hi everyone! Quick question about a join table design for a HABTM association. Let's call it `articles_tags`. - Does it require a surrogate id? So `id | article_id | tag_id` - Or can I have only `article_id | tag_id` and simply make them a combined primary key? If I go for the latter, will Cake automatically recognise it, or will I have to configure something in the Table class? And am I going to regret this decision?
# May 7th 2021, 16:46 thomas078 New Authentication seems to have token based auth as well
# May 7th 2021, 16:45 thomas078 @greg138 Thanks. Just started to look new plugin and doing some tests to get an idea of everything i have to change.
# May 7th 2021, 16:44 greg138 I believe that it's one or the other. The new plugins work just fine with 3.9, so you can do that conversion any time.
# May 7th 2021, 16:16 thomas078 sure, this is an old project. Need to do plan for migrating 4
# May 7th 2021, 16:12 kevin.pfeifer sorry, but I haven’t used the Cake3 AuthComponent in quite some time so I don’t want to give you some wrong info ^^ Someone else has to answer that
# May 7th 2021, 16:06 thomas078 @kevin.pfeifer Can i use Auth component and Authentication side by side. Have not yet migrated 3.9 to 4
# May 7th 2021, 16:04 kevin.pfeifer @thomas078 currently cakephp4 has 2 separate plugins for authentication and authorization See https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/tutorials-and-examples/cms/authentication.html and https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/tutorials-and-examples/cms/authorization.html The AuthComponent from Cake3 is deprecated (as stated in https://book.cakephp.org/3/en/controllers/components/authentication.html)
