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.

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)
