CakePHP 3 EPAuthenticate Plugin
===============================

[](#cakephp-3-epauthenticate-plugin)

This little plugin provides an Authenticate adapter for stateless Authentication. It allows you to specify a special header, which contains a token to authorize in your application. This can be very helpful for testing, be it unittests or manual tests with API clients (like Postman) or directly in your client software.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require gringlas/cakephp-ep-authenticate dev-master

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Just add `gringlas/EPAuthenticate.EP` to your AuthComponent authenticate, like

```
$this->loacComponent('Auth', [
    'authenticate' => [
        'gringlas/EPAuthenticate.EP' => [
            'header' => 'EP-Authorization',
            'userId' => 1,
            'debugOnly' => false,
            'password' => 'EPme',
        ],
    ...
);

```

Send add set `header` and `password` to your next request and get authenticated as User with id `userid`.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

- `userId`: Id of User data, which should be authed, defaults to 1
- `debugOnly`: only use AuthenticateAdapter when `env('debug', true)`, defaults to true
- `header`: Name of header, defaults to `EP-Authorization`
- `password`: Value of header, defaults to `EPme`

ToDo
----

[](#todo)

- Add custom UserModel, so far only users from DB table are supported
- Add custom finder method, so far only a `$this->User->get($this->getConfig['user'])` is used to get User data.
