CWebUser

Package system.web.auth
Inheritance class CWebUser » CApplicationComponent » CComponent
Implements IApplicationComponent, IWebUser
Since 1.0
Source Code framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php
CWebUser represents the persistent state for a Web application user.

CWebUser is used as an application component whose ID is 'user'. Therefore, at any place one can access the user state via Yii::app()->user.

CWebUser should be used together with an identity which implements the actual authentication algorithm.

A typical authentication process using CWebUser is as follows:
  1. The user provides information needed for authentication.
  2. An identity instance is created with the user-provided information.
  3. Call IUserIdentity::authenticate to check if the identity is valid.
  4. If valid, call CWebUser::login to login the user, and Redirect the user browser to returnUrl.
  5. If not valid, retrieve the error code or message from the identity instance and display it.


The property id and name are both identifiers for the user. The former is mainly used internally (e.g. primary key), while the latter is for display purpose (e.g. username). The id property is a unique identifier for a user that is persistent during the whole user session. It can be a username, or something else, depending on the implementation of the identity class.

Both id and name are persistent during the user session. Besides, an identity may have additional persistent data which can be accessed by calling getState. Note, when cookie-based authentication is enabled, all these persistent data will be stored in cookie. Therefore, do not store password or other sensitive data in the persistent storage. Instead, you should store them directly in session on the server side if needed.

Property Details

absoluteAuthTimeout property (available since v1.1.14)
public integer $absoluteAuthTimeout;

timeout in seconds after which user is logged out regardless of activity.

allowAutoLogin property
public boolean $allowAutoLogin;

whether to enable cookie-based login. Defaults to false.

authTimeout property (available since v1.1.7)
public integer $authTimeout;

timeout in seconds after which user is logged out if inactive. If this property is not set, the user will be logged out after the current session expires (c.f. CHttpSession::timeout).

autoRenewCookie property (available since v1.1.0)
public boolean $autoRenewCookie;

whether to automatically renew the identity cookie each time a page is requested. Defaults to false. This property is effective only when allowAutoLogin is true. When this is false, the identity cookie will expire after the specified duration since the user is initially logged in. When this is true, the identity cookie will expire after the specified duration since the user visits the site the last time.

See Also

autoUpdateFlash property (available since v1.1.7)
public boolean $autoUpdateFlash;

whether to automatically update the validity of flash messages. Defaults to true, meaning flash messages will be valid only in the current and the next requests. If this is set false, you will be responsible for ensuring a flash message is deleted after usage. (This can be achieved by calling getFlash with the 3rd parameter being true).

flashes property read-only (available since v1.1.3)
public array getFlashes(boolean $delete=true)

Returns all flash messages. This method is similar to getFlash except that it returns all currently available flash messages.

guestName property
public string $guestName;

the name for a guest user. Defaults to 'Guest'. This is used by getName when the current user is a guest (not authenticated).

id property
public mixed getId()
public void setId(mixed $value)

Returns a value that uniquely represents the user.

identityCookie property
public array $identityCookie;

the property values (in name-value pairs) used to initialize the identity cookie. Any property of CHttpCookie may be initialized. This property is effective only when allowAutoLogin is true.

isGuest property read-only
public boolean getIsGuest()

Returns a value indicating whether the user is a guest (not authenticated).

loginRequiredAjaxResponse property (available since v1.1.9)
public string $loginRequiredAjaxResponse;

value that will be echoed in case that user session has expired during an ajax call. When a request is made and user session has expired, loginRequired redirects to loginUrl for login. If that happens during an ajax call, the complete HTML login page is returned as the result of that ajax call. That could be a problem if the ajax call expects the result to be a json array or a predefined string, as the login page is ignored in that case. To solve this, set this property to the desired return value.

If this property is set, this value will be returned as the result of the ajax call in case that the user session has expired.

See Also

loginUrl property
public string|array $loginUrl;

the URL for login. If using array, the first element should be the route to the login action, and the rest name-value pairs are GET parameters to construct the login URL (e.g. array('/site/login')). If this property is null, a 403 HTTP exception will be raised instead.

name property
public string getName()
public void setName(string $value)

Returns the unique identifier for the user (e.g. username). This is the unique identifier that is mainly used for display purpose.

returnUrl property
public string getReturnUrl(string $defaultUrl=NULL)
public void setReturnUrl(string $value)

Returns the URL that the user should be redirected to after successful login. This property is usually used by the login action. If the login is successful, the action should read this property and use it to redirect the user browser.

See Also

stateKeyPrefix property
public string getStateKeyPrefix()
public void setStateKeyPrefix(string $value)

a prefix for the name of the session variables storing user session data.

public function __get($name)
{
    if(
$this->hasState($name))
        return 
$this->getState($name);
    else
        return 
parent::__get($name);
}

PHP magic method. This method is overridden so that persistent states can be accessed like properties.

__isset() method
public boolean __isset(string $name)
$name string property name
{return} boolean

parent::__isset($name);
}

PHP magic method. This method is overridden so that persistent states can also be checked for null value.

__set() method
public void __set(string $name, mixed $value)
$name string property name
$value mixed property value
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#156 (show)
public function __set($name,$value)
{
    if(
$this->hasState($name))
        
$this->setState($name,$value);
    else
        
parent::__set($name,$value);
}

PHP magic method. This method is overridden so that persistent states can be set like properties.

__unset() method
public void __unset(string $name)
$name string property name
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#184 (show)
public function __unset($name)
{
    if(
$this->hasState($name))
        
$this->setState($name,null);
    else
        
parent::__unset($name);
}

PHP magic method. This method is overridden so that persistent states can also be unset.

afterLogin() method (available since v1.1.3)
protected void afterLogin(boolean $fromCookie)
$fromCookie boolean whether the login is based on cookie.
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#424 (show)
protected function afterLogin($fromCookie)
{
}

This method is called after the user is successfully logged in. You may override this method to do some postprocessing (e.g. log the user login IP and time; load the user permission information).

afterLogout() method (available since v1.1.3)
protected void afterLogout()
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#446 (show)
protected function afterLogout()
{
}

This method is invoked right after a user is logged out. You may override this method to do some extra cleanup work for the user.

beforeLogin() method (available since v1.1.3)
protected boolean beforeLogin(mixed $id, array $states, boolean $fromCookie)
$id mixed the user ID. This is the same as returned by getId().
$states array a set of name-value pairs that are provided by the user identity.
$fromCookie boolean whether the login is based on cookie
{return} boolean whether the user should be logged in
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#412 (show)
protected function beforeLogin($id,$states,$fromCookie)
{
    return 
true;
}

This method is called before logging in a user. You may override this method to provide additional security check. For example, when the login is cookie-based, you may want to verify that the user ID together with a random token in the states can be found in the database. This will prevent hackers from faking arbitrary identity cookies even if they crack down the server private key.

beforeLogout() method (available since v1.1.3)
protected boolean beforeLogout()
{return} boolean whether to log out the user
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#436 (show)
protected function beforeLogout()
{
    return 
true;
}

This method is invoked when calling logout to log out a user. If this method return false, the logout action will be cancelled. You may override this method to provide additional check before logging out a user.

changeIdentity() method
protected void changeIdentity(mixed $id, string $name, array $states)
$id mixed a unique identifier for the user
$name string the display name for the user
$states array identity states
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#715 (show)
protected function changeIdentity($id,$name,$states)
{
    
Yii::app()->getSession()->regenerateID(true);
    
$this->setId($id);
    
$this->setName($name);
    
$this->loadIdentityStates($states);
}

Changes the current user with the specified identity information. This method is called by login and restoreFromCookie when the current user needs to be populated with the corresponding identity information. Derived classes may override this method by retrieving additional user-related information. Make sure the parent implementation is called first.

checkAccess() method
public boolean checkAccess(string $operation, array $params=array ( ), boolean $allowCaching=true)
$operation string the name of the operation that need access check.
$params array name-value pairs that would be passed to business rules associated with the tasks and roles assigned to the user. Since version 1.1.11 a param with name 'userId' is added to this array, which holds the value of getId() when CDbAuthManager or CPhpAuthManager is used.
$allowCaching boolean whether to allow caching the result of access check. When this parameter is true (default), if the access check of an operation was performed before, its result will be directly returned when calling this method to check the same operation. If this parameter is false, this method will always call CAuthManager::checkAccess to obtain the up-to-date access result. Note that this caching is effective only within the same request and only works when $params=array().
{return} boolean whether the operations can be performed by this user.
Source Code: framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#812 (show)

}

Logs in a user.

The user identity information will be saved in storage that is persistent during the user session. By default, the storage is simply the session storage. If the duration parameter is greater than 0, a cookie will be sent to prepare for cookie-based login in future.

Note, you have to set allowAutoLogin to true if you want to allow user to be authenticated based on the cookie information.

Before the redirection, the current URL (if it's not an AJAX url) will be kept in returnUrl so that the user browser may be redirected back to the current page after successful login. Make sure you set loginUrl so that the user browser can be redirected to the specified login URL after calling this method. After calling this method, the current request processing will be terminated.

logout() method
public void logout(boolean $destroySession=true)
