It works exactly how I want to, so it might not be your first choice, but it's a solid alternative to the inbuilt AuthComponent. Main Features: - Per action / per controller / inline access control - Group support for HABTM and BelongsTo Group associations, or disable groups control completely. - A "super-user" functionality allowing one group automatic access granted - Optional tamper-proof Cookie support - Custom password hashing to suit your Model - Passes User Info and Access Matrix to view - Methods to access User Info / Access Matrix in Controller Sat, 03 May 2008 18:47:59 -0500 http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/darkauth-v1-3-an-auth-component http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/gallery2-api-and-cakephp-component Gallery2 is a Media Manager and can be embedded in other applications like CMS. Gallery2 also has an API that we can use to embed Gallery into our Web Apps. Below is only a sample of what can be done. If you find it interesting enough, please contribute your improvements and suggestions as well as any code. I have only been working with CakePHP for little over two weeks, so not saying this is the best way. My first post so go easy :) Sat, 03 May 2008 18:40:38 -0500 http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/gallery2-api-and-cakephp-component http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/maintaining-an-application-independant-code-library As a developper for my web company, I often write cake components/helpers/etc that I reuse often throughout my various client projects. For a while now I've been looking for a way to use and manage this code with CVS in a way that avoids duplication. I finally found the solution.

The aim of this component was to make saved data as secure as possible. I have (hopefully) achieved this by utilizing mcrypt (for encrypting and decrypting the data) and checksuming the stored data. Update: SVN build 385 Cookie's now get stored with their expiration timestamp. When __unpacking() we can check to see if the user has tampered with the cookies expiration time and kill the cookie if they have. Update: SVN build 387 Fixed constructor and tidied up comments, please note that the use of __construct() relies upon PHP5, but this could easily be adapted for PHP4 if required.
