Webservice: How To Handle Authentication ?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

I need a very very simple webservice given a string as output.

This could be very easy in Yii, as documented in definitive guide, but my question is : how to handle username and password?

this webservice requires authentication. because action is under RBAC role restritions.

as you need a webservice, probably best way will be http basic auth (for example: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/httpauth/)

I don’t want an extension, I want to learn how to do this with Yii.

what is so funny? Didn’t it helped? It is just very simple filter you may apply on particular controller or application wide.
