yii user identity without database

[wajdiawwad (Wajdi)]

Hi,

i create Yii2 app, with user module,

the user class implement identity but it dont extends ActiveRecord because i dont have a DB, i authenticate user from some kind of external API

i create my own user model, and in loginForm.php i do this

public function getUser()

{


  $this->_user = new User($user);


   return $this->_user;


}

and login() in function

if($user){





    	return Yii::$app->user->login($user,3600 * 24 * 30);


    	


    }else{


    	$this->addError('authError', 'Incorrect username or password.');


    }

the probem is on (Yii::$app->user->login($user,3600 * 24 * 30)

it create a user identity but when i redirect the page , i lose it,

on main.php config file i added the follwing:

‘user’=>[

		'identityClass' => 'app\modules\users\models',


		'enableAutoLogin' => true,


		'enableSession'=>true,	


		'loginUrl'  => ['/users/login'],


	],

but still dont have user identity after redirect

P.S when i print user identity before redirect , i can see it created for log in user and everything fine , it happen after first redirect.

what i miss to keep user log in ?

Not sure if it helps but take a look here:

http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/61364-losing-user-identity-upon-redirect-after-successful-login/

Quote from Lukos:

switchIdentity() in yii\web\User sets the user id into the session. When the site redirects somewhere, this is reloaded in renewAuthStatus() which will find the session user id and if present, will call findIdentity() to instantiate the User class for the correct user.

I guess your class is either not setting the id anywhere when the user logs in or otherwise findIdentity() does not work properly in your User model.

Hope this helps

If You are using database:

class User extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord implements \yii\web\IdentityInterface
{
}

If You are not using database:

class User extends \yii\base\Model implements \yii\web\IdentityInterface
{
}
