Tutorial & sample app

How to use

  1. Install this plugin for your CakePHP app.
    Assuming APP is the directory where your CakePHP app resides, it's usually app/ from the base of CakePHP.

    cd APP/Plugin
    git clone git://github.com/uzyn/cakephp-opauth.git Opauth
  2. Download Opauth library as a submodule.

    git submodule init
    git submodule update
  3. Add this line to the bottom of your app's Config/bootstrap.php:

    <?php
    CakePlugin::load('Opauth', array('routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true));

    Overwrite any Opauth configurations you want after the above line.

  4. Load strategies onto Strategy/ directory.

    Append configuration for strategies at your app's Config/bootstrap.php as follows:

    <?php
    CakePlugin::load('Opauth', array('routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true));
    
    // Using Facebook strategy as an example
    Configure::write('Opauth.Strategy.Facebook', array(
        'app_id' => 'YOUR FACEBOOK APP ID',
        'app_secret' => 'YOUR FACEBOOK APP SECRET'
    ));
  5. Go to http://path_to_your_cake_app/auth/facebook to authenticate with Facebook, and similarly for other strategies that you have loaded.

  6. After validation, user will be redirected to Router::url('/opauth-complete') with validated auth response data retrievable available at $this->data.

    To route a controller to handle the response, at your app's Config/routes.php, add a connector, for example:

    <?php
    Router::connect(
        '/opauth-complete/*', 
        array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'opauth_complete')
    );

    You can then work with the authentication data at, say APP/Controller/UsersController.php as follows:

    <?php // APP/Controller/UsersController.php:
    class UsersController extends AppController {
        public function opauth_complete() {
            debug($this->data);
        }
    }

    Note that this CakePHP Opauth plugin already does auth response validation for you with its results available as a boolean value at $this->data['validated'].

  7. (optional) The submoduled Opauth core library may not be of the latest build, to update to the latest:

    git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Note:

If your CakePHP app does not reside at DocumentRoot (eg. http://localhost), but at a directory below DocumentRoot (eg. http://localhost/your-cake-app),
add this line to your app's APP/Config/bootstrap.php, replacing your-cake-app with your actual path :

<?php // APP/Config/bootstrap.php
Configure::write('Opauth.path', '/your-cake-app/auth/');
