mixed
Either false or an array of user information

implementedEvents()source public

implementedEvents( )

Returns a list of all events that this authenticate class will listen to.

An authenticate class can listen to following events fired by AuthComponent:

• Auth.afterIdentify - Fired after a user has been identified using one of configured authenticate class. The callback function should have signature like afterIdentify(Event $event, array $user) when $user is the identified user record.

• Auth.logout - Fired when AuthComponent::logout() is called. The callback function should have signature like logout(Event $event, array $user) where $user is the user about to be logged out.

Returns

array
List of events this class listens to. Defaults to [].

Implementation of

Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface::implementedEvents()

needsPasswordRehash()source public

needsPasswordRehash( )

Returns whether or not the password stored in the repository for the logged in user requires to be rehashed with another algorithm

unauthenticated()source public

unauthenticated( Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request , Cake\Http\Response $response )

Handle unauthenticated access attempt. In implementation valid return values can be:

• Null - No action taken, AuthComponent should return appropriate response.
• Cake\Http\Response - A response object, which will cause AuthComponent to simply return that response.

Parameters

Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request

A request object.

Cake\Http\Response $response

A response object.
