CakePHP 2.x

How to install

1. Set up your Acl environment (see any tutorial)

Install SQL tables through Cake Console
parentNode() method on your requester models

2. Configure Auth in your AppController

It should look something like this:

var $components = array('Auth', 'Acl', 'Session');

function beforeFilter() {
	
    //Configure AuthComponent
    $this->Auth->authorize = array(
    	'Controller',
    	'Actions' => array('actionPath' => 'controllers')
    );
	$this->Auth->authenticate = array('Form' => array('fields' => array('username' => 'login', 'password' => 'password')));
    $this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login', 'admin' => false, 'plugin' => false);
    $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login', 'admin' => false, 'plugin' => false);
    $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'products', 'action' => 'index', 'admin' => false, 'plugin' => false);
    
}

function isAuthorized($user) {
    // return false;
    return $this->Auth->loggedIn();
}

3. Download AclManager

To the app/Plugin directory

4. Configure the plugin

See AclManager/Config/bootstrap.php

AclManager.aros : write in there your requester models aliases (the order is important)

5. Enable the plugin

In app/Config/bootstrap.php

CakePlugin::load('AclManager', array('bootstrap' => true));

6. Login with an existing user

The plugin conflicts with $this->Auth->allow(), do not use it. Just make sure that you are logged in.

7. Access the plugin at `/acl_manager/acl`

Update your AROs and ACOs
Set up your permissions (do not forget to enable your own public actions!)

8. Disable the authorizer Controller

Or uncomment return false in AppController::isAuthorized()

9. You're done!

Enjoy!
