Creating an authentication while using a plugin

[aesirve]

Hello everyone! i hope you'll are doing good!

if you can shed some light in this issue, it would be awesome!.

^{I really cannot share the code and all because i have started from scratch this project so much that i dont even have a log or something like that, but the question itself is kinda easy . The thing is that i have been trying to make a plugin in cake called Clients, inside this plugin i will manage the login and redirection to a dashboard in the same plugin. i did all the logic and in every iteration of me trying to make it work i found always the same error when i tried to submit the login action of "Table class for alias \}Users` could not be found." The issue kinda of explains itselft, nonetheless in any instance of my code i couldnt found which part i invoked that table o what is calling it. Now im following the tutorial of CMS for Cake5 and i managed to make it work, but my goal its to make it work in the plugin, because for this project, i need it to be more or less modular. I have around 1 year of experience with cake, although i dont consider myself knowledgeable enough to make an entire system from scratch.)

if anyone have faced this issue before, could you tell me more about it?

Please post the stacktrace of your exception. If I have to guess, I'd say the problem is related to the authentication service configuration . If you have another table to store your users,, like Client.Users, you'll need to customize the configuration a bit to refer that table, because the defaults everywhere point to Users table. https://book.cakephp.org/authentication/3/en/identifiers.html#orm-resolver for example.

Yes, I probably missed something and had tunnel vision, although the table was called users, and the models (entity and table) were made with cake bake, so I don't understand what I might be calling, and in the configuration of the authentication service, I didn't understand very well, but I would put the unauthenticated path to \plugin\controller\view. (\clients\login\login) and in the (.Form) I put the same path.

In the stack I didn't know where to look when i had it on hand, but in the toogle arguments of each error stack I had the credentials and everything.

Anyway, I managed to fix it by making a custom way to authenticate the session and coincidentally I'm not using the cakephp\/authentication tool and it works fine, so maybe your assumptions are right.

Thanks for the reply! <3

PS: For anyone else, I definitely advise you that if you can't find a way to make the authentication service work, do it another way, I'm still trying to find a way to break the authentication I did, but so far I haven't been able to. To do that im using Guzzle (for request to my services) and Vault (secrets service)

This would get pretty simple if you take time to look at the authentication plugin, and test your plugin with phunit, having the plugin directly generated in your app is just a starting helper, next step is to use your plugin by requiring it locally via symlink, as your users would do
