CakePHP : 2.4 Auth component not working - cakephp

Question

I have a table name admin_users, I am trying to use auth component here. So I have written in appcontroller bellow code
public $components = array('Session','RequestHandler','Paginator'=>array('limit'=>4),'Auth'=>array(
'loginAction'=>array(
'controller'=>'adminusers',
'action'=>'login'
),
'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'adminusers','action' => 'index'),
'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'adminusers','action' => 'index'),
'authError'=>'You can not access this page!!',
));
For set user I have written
public function beforeFilter() {
//$this->Auth->allow();
$this->set('logged_in', $this->Auth->loggedIn());
$this->set('current_user',$this->Auth->user());
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Paginator->settings = array(
'limit'=>4
);
}
I have made a method call login() in adminusers controller
public function login() {
$this->layout = 'login';
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid username or password, try again'));
}
}
For hash password I have written in AdminUser model
public function beforeSave($options = array()) {
if (isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
$passwordHasher = new SimplePasswordHasher();
$this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = $passwordHasher->hash(
$this->data[$this->alias]['password']
);
}
return true;
}
This is the login.ctp
<?php echo $this->Form->create('AdminUser'); ?>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('username',array(
'label' => false,
'placeholder'=>'UserName'
));
echo $this->Form->input('password',array(
'label' => false,
'placeholder'=>'Password'
));
?>
After used allow() mathod, I have created a user and here hash password working fine.But the problem is when I am trying to login, It is giving me "Invalid username or password, try again".

Answer 1

In your login.ctp you create an AdminUser.
Auth uses the model 'User' as default.
You need to define your own model in the Auth-Component.
public $components = array('Session','RequestHandler','Paginator'=>array('limit'=>4),'Auth'=>array(
'loginAction'=>array(
'controller'=>'adminusers',
'action'=>'login'
),
'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'adminusers','action' => 'index'),
'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'adminusers','action' => 'index'),
'authError'=>'You can not access this page!!',
'authenticate' => array(
'Form' => array(
'userModel' => 'AdminUser',
'passwordHasher' => 'Blowfish'
)
)
));
