the long awaited documentation of othAuth, this article covers the new version of othAuth 0.5

This is a tutorial on how to use obAuth component: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/130

There has been a lot of questions about user authentication lately so I thought it was appropriate to create a tutorial that covered the very basics

In this tutorial we'll cover all aspects of MVC in an authentication role, logging a user in, maintaining a session, and restricting unauthorized access to controller actions.

Though this article is based on CakePHP 1.2.x, the same concepts apply in 1.1.x and most of the code can be reused.

I want to say thanks to othman ouahbi for his wonderful Authentication Component, this subversion is just a spin-off of othAuth.
I also need to give a big WARNING:
+ This component is still under heavy development
+ I'm not an expert coder, nor do I have that much experience with Cake in general. The code is still messy, and sometimes hard-coded.
The above warning is also one of the main reason I want to post this here, I want to receive as many feedbacks from you guys as possible to improve this Component!

This is a brief tutorial for othAuth component spin-off, which is called RBAuth for now (Roles based authentication)
First of all, I want to say thanks to othman ouahbi for his wonderful Authentication Component, this subversion is just a spin-off of othAuth.

A simple but powerful Cake Auth Component

Cake AC is a very powerful but generic access control sytem. Lets face it, the only real use for Access Control is User permissions. So let us look at the common every day use for Access Control.

I wrote this initially for Cake 1.1 - basing it on ideas from "obAuth" by Steve Oliveira, but upgraded it to 1.2 rather than using the built in Auth component, mostly because this works how I want it to and, once setup, is really easy to use.

Main Features:

- Per action / per controller / inline access control
- Optional Group support for HABTM and User BelongsTo Group associations
- A "super-user" functionality allowing one group automatic access granted
- Optional tamper-proof Cookie support
- Custom password hashing to suit your Model

An update to the original DarkAuth component (http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/darkauth-another-way), with increased efficiency and easier access control. 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
