Method Detail

__construct() public ¶

__construct( Cake\Controller\ComponentRegistry $registry , array $config = [] )

Constructor

Parameters
Cake\Controller\ComponentRegistry $registry
The Component registry used on this request.
array $config optional []
Array of config to use.

_findUser() protected ¶

_findUser( string $username , string|null $password = null )

Find a user record using the username and password provided.

Input passwords will be hashed even when a user doesn't exist. This helps mitigate timing attacks that are attempting to find valid usernames.

Parameters
string $username
The username/identifier.
string|null $password optional null

The password, if not provided password checking is skipped and result of find is returned.

Returns
boolean|array
Either false on failure, or an array of user data.

_query() protected ¶

_query( string $username )

Get query object for fetching user from database.

Parameters
string $username
The username/identifier.
Returns
Cake\ORM\Query

authenticate() abstract public ¶

authenticate( Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request , Cake\Http\Response $response )

Authenticate a user based on the request information.

Parameters
Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request
Request to get authentication information from.
Cake\Http\Response $response
A response object that can have headers added.
Returns
array|false
Either false on failure, or an array of user data on success.

getUser() public ¶

getUser( Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request )

Get a user based on information in the request. Primarily used by stateless authentication systems like basic and digest auth.

Parameters
Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request
Request object.
Returns
array|false
Either false or an array of user information

implementedEvents() public ¶

implementedEvents( )

Returns a list of all events that this authenticate class will listen to.

An authenticate class can listen to following events fired by AuthComponent:

  • Auth.afterIdentify - Fired after a user has been identified using one of configured authenticate class. The callback function should have signature like afterIdentify(Event $event, array $user) when $user is the identified user record.

  • Auth.logout - Fired when AuthComponent::logout() is called. The callback function should have signature like logout(Event $event, array $user) where $user is the user about to be logged out.

Returns
array
List of events this class listens to. Defaults to [].
Implementation of
Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface::implementedEvents()

needsPasswordRehash() public ¶

needsPasswordRehash( )

Returns whether or not the password stored in the repository for the logged in user requires to be rehashed with another algorithm

Returns
boolean

passwordHasher() public ¶

passwordHasher( )

Return password hasher object

Returns
Cake\Auth\AbstractPasswordHasher
Password hasher instance
Throws
RuntimeException

If password hasher class not found or it does not extend AbstractPasswordHasher


unauthenticated() public ¶

unauthenticated( Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request , Cake\Http\Response $response )

Handle unauthenticated access attempt. In implementation valid return values can be:

  • Null - No action taken, AuthComponent should return appropriate response.
  • Cake\Http\Response - A response object, which will cause AuthComponent to simply return that response.
Parameters
Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request
A request object.
Cake\Http\Response $response
A response object.
