Cakephp 2.0 and basic auth

I upgraded my application from CakePHP 1.3 to 2.0.4.

Previously, I could use the Security component to emulate basic HTTP authentication in only one controller.

I was doing something like this:

$this->Auth->allow(array('*'));
$this->Security->loginOptions = array('type'=>'basic','realm'=>'api');
$this->Security->loginUsers = array("api"=>"123");
$this->Security->requireLogin();

Now SecurityComponent no longer handles Basic and Digest authentication, and I need to do something like this:

public $components = array(
    'Auth' => array(
        'authenticate' => array('Basic')
    )
);

But when I use this on my ApiController, it redirects to my login form in / users / login. Did I miss something?

You need to configure AuthComponent with your login action. You should check the Configure Authentication Handlers section of the Cake book.

Your setup will probably look something like this:

public $components = array(
  'Auth'=> array(
    'loginAction' => array(
      'controller' => 'api',
      'action'     => 'login'
    ),
    'loginRedirect' => array(
      'controller' => 'api',
      'action'     => 'logged_on'
    ),
    'authenticate' => array(
      'Basic' => array(
        'realm' => 'api'
      )
    )
  )
);

, , Cake loginUsers. , BasicAuthenticate getUser().
