I’ve been searching for it but I don’t find a clear answer.
The problem:
If I disable the cookies in browser, I can’t log in.
The login dialog accepts the username and password but after the page reloads nobody is logged in.
This is what I have in the LoginForm model:
public function login() {
$this->_identity = new UserIdentity($this->username, $this->password);
$this->_identity->authenticate();
if ($this->_identity->errorCode == UserIdentity::ERROR_NONE) {
$duration = $this->rememberMe ? 3600*24*30 : 0; // 30 days
Yii::app()->user->login($this->_identity, $duration);
return true;
}
return false;
}
Of course you can’t, because session ID is stored in cookie.
The only way to deal with it is to use transparent sid, which is a bad practice.

Any help would be appreciated…
How to solve this problem without using bad practices?
Yes, there is a good one.
Display a really big banner saying TURN ON THE DAMN COOKIES, YOU MORON! 
Even webcrawlers has cookies!
It’s 21th century, after all.
Who care about clues without cookie? Me want cookie! No cookie - no guessing game!

HTTP authentication could be used as an alternative but it has its own issues.
