@kushan You'd have to be a bit more specific about what exactly it is that you don't understand about using it. It's just a callback, and it expects that you return an object that implements `\Authentication\IdentityInterface`, so basically you modify the data that it receives (in case required), and wrap it an object that satisfies the required contract. The most basic option would be to use the built in identity class, eg |

What is the best solution when redirecting urls from an old site to urls on a new site, the harder part is query string params from the old site have to be translated to query string params on the new site |

thanks @ndm but I believe, if I can set a custom decorator for LDAP auth, I can sort this issue without creating a new entity. I believe this is the answer, but I don't know how to use it https://book.cakephp.org/authentication/2/en/identity-object.html#using-a-custom-identity-decorator |

that is concerned, you'd either need to supply the role ID (you could query the role entity by name maybe) to avoid the unique validation error, or disable validation, or set the entity properties on the object instead of passing them to `newEntity()`. |

Well, that doesn't really answer my question, as LDAP usernames might not be identical to your DB usernames, ie you could still have a matching profile for an LDAP user. I'm pressing on the DB querying because that would be the cleaner approach IMHO. However, if you do not have profiles for LDAP users, and do not intend to create any for them, so you really need to create "dummy entities" for them so to speak... then as far as |

as you could see when a user enters usernam/password, it first check in the app's db for a matching user. If it cannot find a matching user, then look for LDAP |

I'm not quite sure I understand, do you _not_ have any matching users in your DB, or are you just not able to query them (for example because you have no unique value by which you could identify them)? |

when I authenticate via LDAP, I don't check for any matching username in the DB. The reason I wanted to create a new entity is that I cannot find a way to authorize Ldap users without mapping data returned via LDAP auth to a User entity. |

ps, you better pass the customer as an option to the identifier config, then you can remove the hard router depdendency. |

I see. And do you have matching users in your database that you could identify by the username, or by information returned from the LDAP search? |

@kushan Where does the LDAP identifier get all that information from? `customer_id`, `user_role` (a nested array)? Usually it returns an array object with just one field, the username. |

working as I cannot create and new user entity due to one of the DB rules set. I have Users and UserRoles models. In the UserRoles the 'role' filed is unique. If I tried to create a new entity to match the Users model using the data returned via LDAP auth, it throws an error as the role field is unique.

I agree - but the problem is that some Theme plugins have View helpers used in different places. The hope was to avoid creating a ThemeView in every time to type this |
