Authentication
==============
> Note: This section is under development.
Authentication is the act of verifying who a user is, and is the basis of the login process. Typically, authentication uses the combination of an identifier--a username or email address--and a password. The user submits these values through a form, and the application then compares the submitted information against that previously stored (e.g., upon registration).
In Yii, this entire process is performed semi-automatically, leaving the developer to merely implement [[yii\web\IdentityInterface]], the most important class in the authentication system. Typically, implementation of `IdentityInterface` is accomplished using the `User` model.
You can find a fully featured example of authentication in the
[advanced application template](tutorial-advanced-app.md). Below, only the interface methods are listed:
```php
class User extends ActiveRecord implements IdentityInterface
{
// ...
/**
* Finds an identity by the given ID.
*
* @param string|integer $id the ID to be looked for
* @return IdentityInterface|null the identity object that matches the given ID.
*/
public static function findIdentity($id)
{
return static::findOne($id);
}
/**
* Finds an identity by the given token.
*
* @param string $token the token to be looked for
* @return IdentityInterface|null the identity object that matches the given token.
*/
public static function findIdentityByAccessToken($token, $type = null)
{
return static::findOne(['access_token' => $token]);
}
/**
* @return int|string current user ID
*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**
* @return string current user auth key
*/
public function getAuthKey()
{
return $this->auth_key;
}
/**
* @param string $authKey
* @return boolean if auth key is valid for current user
*/
public function validateAuthKey($authKey)
{
return $this->getAuthKey() === $authKey;
}
}
```
Two of the outlined methods are simple: `findIdentity` is provided with an ID value and returns a model instance
associated with that ID. The `getId` method returns the ID itself. Two of the other methods `getAuthKey` and
`validateAuthKey` are used to provide extra security to the "remember me" cookie. The `getAuthKey` method should
return a string that is unique for each user. You can reliably create a unique string using
`Yii::$app->getSecurity()->generateRandomString()`. It's a good idea to also save this as part of the user's record:
```php
public function beforeSave($insert)
{
if (parent::beforeSave($insert)) {
if ($this->isNewRecord) {
$this->auth_key = Yii::$app->getSecurity()->generateRandomString();
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
```
The `validateAuthKey` method just needs to compare the `$authKey` variable, passed as parameter (itself retrieved from a cookie), with the value fetched from database.
