Class BlowfishAuthenticate

An authentication adapter for AuthComponent. Provides the ability to authenticate using POST data using Blowfish hashing. Can be used by configuring AuthComponent to use it via the AuthComponent::$authenticate setting.

$this->Auth->authenticate = array(
        'Blowfish' => array(
            'scope' => array('User.active' => 1)
        )
    )

When configuring BlowfishAuthenticate you can pass in settings to which fields, model and additional conditions are used. See FormAuthenticate::$settings for more information.

For initial password hashing/creation see Security::hash(). Other than how the password is initially hashed, BlowfishAuthenticate works exactly the same way as FormAuthenticate.

_checkFields()source protected

_checkFields( CakeRequest $request , string $model , array $fields )

Checks the fields to ensure they are supplied.

Parameters

CakeRequest $request: The request that contains login information.
string $model: The model used for login verification.
array $fields: The fields to be checked.

Returns

boolean
False if the fields have not been supplied. True if they exist.

authenticate()source public

authenticate( CakeRequest $request , CakeResponse $response )

Authenticates the identity contained in a request. Will use the settings.userModel, and settings.fields to find POST data that is used to find a matching record in the settings.userModel. Will return false if there is no post data, either username or password is missing, or if the scope conditions have not been met.

Parameters

CakeRequest $request: The request that contains login information.
CakeResponse $response: Unused response object.

Returns

mixed
False on login failure. An array of User data on success.

Methods inherited from BaseAuthenticate

_findUser()source protected

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

Find a user record using the standard options.

The $username parameter can be a (string)username or an array containing conditions for Model::find('first'). If the $password param is not provided the password field will be present in returned array.

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|array $username: The username/identifier, or an array of find conditions.
string $password optional null: The password, only used if $username param is string.

Returns

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

_password()source protected

_password( string $password )

Hash the plain text password so that it matches the hashed/encrypted password in the datasource.

Parameters

string $password: The plain text password.

Returns

string
The hashed form of the password.

getUser()source public

getUser( CakeRequest $request )

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

Parameters

CakeRequest $request: Request object.

Returns

mixed
Either false or an array of user information

implementedEvents()source public

implementedEvents( )

Implemented events

Returns

array
of events => callbacks.

Implementation of

CakeEventListener::implementedEvents()

logout()source public

logout( array $user )

Allows you to hook into AuthComponent::logout(), and implement specialized logout behavior.

All attached authentication objects will have this method called when a user logs out.

Parameters

array $user: The user about to be logged out.

passwordHasher()source public

passwordHasher( )

Return password hasher object

Returns

AbstractPasswordHasher
Password hasher instance

Throws

CakeException

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

unauthenticated()source public

unauthenticated( CakeRequest $request , CakeResponse $response )

Handle unauthenticated access attempt.

Parameters

CakeRequest $request: A request object.
CakeResponse $response: A response object.

Returns

mixed

Either true to indicate the unauthenticated request has been dealt with and no more action is required by AuthComponent or void (default).
