I follow this tut http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/175/how-to-create-a-rest-api/#hh14

and I have a method for authentication is


private function _checkAuth() {


        // Check if we have the USERNAME and PASSWORD HTTP headers set?


        if (!(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_' . self::APPLICATION_ID . '_USERNAME']) and isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_' . self::APPLICATION_ID . '_PASSWORD']))) {


            // Error: Unauthorized


            $this->_sendResponse(401);

        }


        $username = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_' . self::APPLICATION_ID . '_USERNAME'];


        $password = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_' . self::APPLICATION_ID . '_PASSWORD'];


        // Find the user


        $user = User::model()->find('LOWER(username)=?', array(strtolower($username)));


        if ($user === null) {


            // Error: Unauthorized


            $this->_sendResponse(401, 'Error: User Name is invalid');

        } else if (!$user->validatePassword($password)) {


            // Error: Unauthorized


            $this->_sendResponse(401, 'Error: User Password is invalid');

        }

    }
