The Bakery Everything CakePHP

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

Authenticate your users and secure your controller actions from users belonging to certain groups. Or simply secure your controller actions to let any authenticated user to access it.

How to use: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/121

Some features:
1. User authentication
2. User groups supported
3. Protect action access with 1 line of code

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.
