if it is ok with you, kindly post a working sample of this authentication thing? I could hardly, and sorry for that. I am just beginning with AMFPHP.

thanks for caring.

*If* it’s a valid username/password, you’d then call Authenticate::login($username,$roles) which provides the needed authentication for the subsequent AMFPHP calls.

AMFPHP stores the authentication info in session vars so normal session rules apply.

Where and when must we call Authenticate::login($username,$roles);?

And what happens if the user doesn’t have cookies enabled?

Thanks!!

I’m having a bit of trouble understanding how to implement this and was hoping you could point me in the right direction..

I defined a class as follows but when I call the getData method from Flex, it returns fine without any authentication occuring:

memberName) ? Authenticate::isUserInRole($this->$memberName) : true;
}

var $SecuredClassRoles = “admin”;
var $GetDataRoles = “admin”;

public function SecuredClass() {

}

public function GetData() {

return “You Got In”;

}

}

?>

Also, I noticed you posted on Wade’s site asking whether this is the ‘best’ way to implement auth – did he give you an answer or have you an updated opinion?

cheers!

Make a call to a php script that validates the login credentials. If successful you could call

Authenticate::login($usrer,$roles);

and to destroy the session (logout)

Authenticate::logout();

Let me know if you need further assistance.

if ($allow === ‘__amfphp_error’ || $allow === false) {
$ex = new MessageException(E_USER_ERROR, “Method access blocked by beforeFilter in ” . $className . ” class”, __FILE__, __LINE__, “AMFPHP_AUTHENTICATE_ERROR”);
MessageException::throwException($amfbody, $ex);
return false;
}

You could do something along the lines of

if ($allow !== true)
{

if($allow === ‘__amfphp_error’ || $allow === false)
$ex = new MessageException(E_USER_ERROR, “Method access blocked by beforeFilter in ” . $className . ” class”, __FILE__, __LINE__, “AMFPHP_AUTHENTICATE_ERROR”);
else
$ex = new MessageException(E_USER_ERROR, $allow . ” ” . $className . ” class”, __FILE__, __LINE__, “AMFPHP_AUTHENTICATE_ERROR”);

MessageException::throwException($amfbody, $ex);
return false;
}

Where you return the error string (instead of false) from your before filter. If you *do* return false from your before filter, the legacy AMFPHP error is thrown.

Hope that helps!!

faultCode String AMFPHP_AUTHENTICATE_ERROR
faultDetail String /amfphp/core/shared/app/BasicActions.php on line 121
faultString String Method access blocked by beforeFilter in PublisherService class

Any ideas?
