customize authentication

How can i customize my authentication so that it takes the username from my user table instead of using demo/demo or admin/admin? I’ve read some tutorials but i’m getting all confused coz the UserIdentity is not similar to mine.

<?php

class UserIdentity extends CUserIdentity

{

public function authenticate()

{


	&#036;users=array(


		// username =&gt; password


		'demo'=&gt;'demo',


		'admin'=&gt;'admin',


	);


	if(&#33;isset(&#036;users[&#036;this-&gt;username]))


		&#036;this-&gt;errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;


	else if(&#036;users[&#036;this-&gt;username]&#33;==&#036;this-&gt;password)


		&#036;this-&gt;errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;


	else


		&#036;this-&gt;errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;


	return &#33;&#036;this-&gt;errorCode;


}

}

i did. it tells me to create a private variable $_id. then i have to create the function getId(). But the codes that they use is different from mine.

$record=User::model()->findByAttributes(array(‘username’=>$this->username));

    if(&#036;record===null)


        &#036;this-&gt;errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;


    else if(&#036;record-&gt;password&#33;==md5(&#036;this-&gt;password))


        &#036;this-&gt;errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;


    else


    {


        &#036;this-&gt;_id=&#036;record-&gt;id;


        &#036;this-&gt;setState('title', &#036;record-&gt;title);


        &#036;this-&gt;errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;


    }


    return &#33;&#036;this-&gt;errorCode;


}

This part is different. Mine uses isset.

I am using this module : http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yii-user

& modify it accordingly.

I was also reading this link http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13718-user-authentication-best-way/

its problem because you not returning error code;







$record=User::model()->findByAttributes(array('username'=>$this->username));

if($record===null)

$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;

else if($record->password!==md5($this->password))

$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;

else

{

$this->_id=$record->id;

$this->setState('title', $record->title);

$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;

}

return $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;

}






<?php

class UserIdentity extends CUserIdentity

{

private &#036;_id;





public function authenticate()


{


	&#036;record=User::model()-&gt;findByAttributes(array('username'=&gt;&#036;this-&gt;username));

if($record===null)

$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;

else if($record->password!==md5($this->password))

$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;

else

{

$this->_id=$record->id;

$this->setState(‘title’, $record->title);

$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;

}

return $this->errorCode;

}

public function getId()


{


    return &#036;this-&gt;_id;


}

}

it should be like above right?

But then i get this error:

PHP Error

did you create model login , extend CActive form ??

and then call CuserIdenttiy in that form model ???

With "mine" you mean the code generated by yiic… That code is very simple and allows to login with "demo/demo" or "admin/admin"… so that code needs to be changed with the code in the definitive guide so that it works with the database…

when posting code… use the <> icon in the editor… or insert your code between [ code] and [ /code] … without spaces… so that your code is readable…
