Slim Auth Example Implementation

Example implementation of the Slim Auth library

Requirements

In order to run this example implementation, you'll need to have the following installed:

• Vagrant
• VirtualBox
• Ansible (See installation docs here)

Usage

• Clone repo
• cd /path/to/repo
• Run vagrant up
• Add 192.168.56.102 slim-auth.dev to /etc/hosts
• Open a browser and visit http://slim-auth.dev

The Database

The user database the example is using has the following schema:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS [users] (
    [id] INTEGER  NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    [username] VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    [role] VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    [password] VARCHAR(255) NULL
);

Pay special attention to the role column. Without that, Slim Auth won't work.

The user database contains two users: admin and member. Each has a role and password matching the username.

Example ACL

In order to restrict access to application routes by role, we need to create an ACL. The ACL extends Zend\Permissions\Acl\Acl (complete Zend ACL documentation can be found here). The ACL is commented with a brief explanation of each section.

use Zend\Permissions\Acl\Acl as ZendAcl;

class Acl extends ZendAcl
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        // These are the roles in our application
        $this->addRole('guest');
        // member role "extends" guest, meaning the member role will get all of 
        // the guest role permissions by default
        $this->addRole('member', 'guest');
        $this->addRole('admin');

        // These are the resources in our app. The resources are the 
        // applications's route patterns
        $this->addResource('/');
        $this->addResource('/login');
        $this->addResource('/logout');
        $this->addResource('/member');
        $this->addResource('/admin');

        // Now we allow or deny a role's access to resources. The third argument
        // is 'privilege'. We're using HTTP method for resources.
        $this->allow('guest', '/', 'GET');
        $this->allow('guest', '/login', array('GET', 'POST'));
        $this->allow('guest', '/logout', 'GET');

        $this->allow('member', '/member', 'GET');

        // This allows admin access to everything
        $this->allow('admin');
    }
}
