Class DigestAuthenticate
Digest Authentication adapter for AuthComponent.
Provides Digest HTTP authentication support for AuthComponent.
Using Digest auth
In your controller's components array, add auth + the required config
public $components = [ 'Auth' => [ 'authenticate' => ['Digest'] ] ];
You should also set AuthComponent::$sessionKey = false;
in your AppController's beforeFilter() to prevent CakePHP from sending a session cookie to the client.
Since HTTP Digest Authentication is stateless you don't need a login() action in your controller. The user credentials will be checked on each request. If valid credentials are not provided, required authentication headers will be sent by this authentication provider which triggers the login dialog in the browser/client.
You may also want to use $this->Auth->unauthorizedRedirect = false;
. This causes AuthComponent to throw a ForbiddenException exception instead of redirecting to another page.
Generating passwords compatible with Digest authentication.
DigestAuthenticate requires a special password hash that conforms to RFC2617. You can generate this password using DigestAuthenticate::password()
$digestPass = DigestAuthenticate::password($username, $password, env('SERVER_NAME'));
If you wish to use digest authentication alongside other authentication methods, it's recommended that you store the digest authentication separately. For example User.digest_pass
could be used for a digest password, while User.password
would store the password hash for use with other methods like Basic or Form.

Methods inherited from Cake\Auth\BaseAuthenticate
_findUsersource 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.
_querysource protected
_query( string $username )
Get query object for fetching user from database.
Parameters
- string
$username
- The username/identifier.
Returns
Cake\ORM\Query
\Cake\ORM\Query
implementedEventssource 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 likeafterIdentify(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 likelogout(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
[]
