Getting a Session set by Zend Auth

madmaxious · #1 (**permalink**) 05-13-2008, 02:04 PM

Hello,

I have a login Controller that uses an Zend Auth to authentcate the user.

I have a UserClass that is called in the bootstrap file that I need to look for the Zend Auth Session. If I print the session I can see the data after I am authenticated in the UserClass but I do not want to call it using.

PHP Code:


			
 $_SESSION

I might be little simple here but I can not see a way to access that session using Zend_Session without doing

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$authSesssion =  Zend_Session::namespaceGet('Zend_Auth');



?>

This above is DEPRECATED according to the docs so I do nto want to use it.

Please help

try this:

PHP Code:


			
// bootstrap file (usually index.php):

// setup application authentication

$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();

$auth->setStorage(new Zend_Auth_Storage_Session());

everything stays in sessions and recovers every request

Hello,

It is always the way that writing your problem down helps solve it.

If you do the following

PHP Code:


			
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();

$adapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap($options, $username, $password);



try {

        $result = $auth->authenticate($adapter);

    }

    catch (Zend_Auth_Adapter_Exception $e)

    {

            print $e;

    }



$result->isValid()

This does the check and if the user is valid creates a Session with the NameSpace of Zend_Auth

All you then need to do is create a new Zend_Session object with the namespace of Zend_Auth.

I used the code below to extract the userid of the authenticated login

PHP Code:


			


    $auth = new Zend_Session_Namespace('Zend_Auth');



    ### CHECK IF USER IS AUTHENTICATED ###

    if (isset($auth->storage))

    {

        $User = $auth->storage;

    }

    else 

    {

        $User = 'nobody';

    }

Thanks

I used:
$auth->setStorage(new Zend_Auth_Storage_Session('admin'));
$result = $auth->authenticate($adapter);
...

Than later after success authenticate:
$data = $adapter->getResultRowObject(null, 'password');
$auth->getStorage()->write($data);

Can I use following to access the saved data?

$auth = new Zend_Session_Namespace('admin');
hello, $auth->admin_firstname

admin_firstname is a column in the admin table.
