Copyright --------- [](#copyright) Copyright 2011 - 2014 Florian Krämer Copyright 2015 Ronald Chaplin Version ------- [](#version) 1.0.6 Installation ------------ [](#installation) `composer require t73biz/cakephp2-jwt-auth 1.0.6` This will install into the Plugin directory (in the `JwtAuth` folder). To run the tests, simply navigate to your webroot/test.php and follow the links for the test cases for the Authentication Adapter. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Configuration [](#configuration) You can either declare this in your Controller's `$components` array, or on the fly in an `action` (if you need to load any configuration values, which you can't do when declaring in the `$components` array, for example). ``` public $components = array( 'Auth' => array( 'authenticate' => array( 'JwtAuth.JwtToken' => array( 'fields' => array( 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password', 'token' => 'public_key', ), 'parameter' => '_token', 'userModel' => 'User', 'scope' => array('User.active' => 1), 'pepper' => 'sneezing', ), ), ), ); ``` Or ``` $this->Auth->authenticate['JwtAuth.JwtToken'] = array( 'fields' => array( 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password', 'token' => 'public_key', ), 'parameter' => '_token', 'userModel' => 'User', 'scope' => array('User.active' => 1), 'pepper' => Configure::read('API.token.pepper'), ); ``` Where (excluding common authentication items): - `fields` is an array containing the details of which passed values (POSTed) contain the `username`, `password` and `token` - `token` is used to hold a unique key against the user once authenticated and is also stored in the JWT - `parameter` is the query string parameter that could hold the JWT - `header` is the HTTP header that could hold the JWT - `pepper` is the salt to use when encrypting your JWT (keep this super secret!) #### Defaults [](#defaults) ``` array( 'fields' => array( 'username' => 'username', 'token' => 'token' ), 'parameter' => '_token', 'header' => 'X_JSON_WEB_TOKEN', 'userModel' => 'User', 'scope' => array(), 'recursive' => 0, 'contain' => null, 'pepper' => '123' ); ``` ### Authentication [](#authentication) You can authenticate by passing a valid JWT as either: - The query string parameter defined as `parameter` in the config array (defaults to `_token`) - The contents of the header defined as `header` in the config array (defaults to `X_JSON_WEB_TOKEN`) TODO ---- [](#todo) Implement an end to end example for inside clients and 3rd party client usage. ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance17 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity29 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 61.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
