创建新用户时，在POST参数中获取用户名和密码

Question

I need to hash and store a password from user input in login form in Yii. If I get them thru POST parameters like this:

$model->username=$_POST['User']['username'];
$model->password=crypt($_POST['User']['username']);// salt might be added
if($model->save())
  $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));

this way I expose the uncrypted password in POST request. Other way is to them directly from login form like this:

public function actionCreate2()
{
    $model=new User;
    $model->username = $form->username;
    $model->password = crypt($form->password);
    if($model->save())
            $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));

    $this->render('create',array(
        'model'=>$model,
    ));
}

but this does not work in my case with authenticating a saved user. The auth function:

public function authenticate()
{
    $users = User::model()->findByAttributes(array('username'=>$this->username));

    if($users == null)
        $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;
    elseif ($users->password !== crypt($this->password, $users->password))
    //elseif($users->password !== $this->password)
        $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;
    else
        $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;
    return !$this->errorCode;
}

How to do it in a proper way?

The more troubles appeared as i followed suggest of Samuel - the validating alarm message even before i enter anything, along with hashed password in input field.(see the picture):

When I still enter my username and my password instead of 'proposed' and press 'Create' the form is being sent with not crypted values (from POST request sniffing):

Form Data   view source   view URL   encoded
YII_CSRF_TOKEN:9758c50299b9d4b96b6ac6a2e5f0c939eae46abe
User[username]:igor23
User[password]:igor23
yt0:Create

but nothing is actually stored in db, nor crypted not uncrypted...

Change your create method to:

/**
 * Creates a new model.
 * If creation is successful, the browser will be redirected to the 'view' page.
 */
public function actionCreate() {
    $model = new User;

    if (isset($_POST['User'])) {
        $model->attributes = $_POST['User'];
        $model->password = crypt($model->password, 'mysalt123');

        if ($model->save())
            $this->redirect(array('view', 'id' => $model->primaryKey));
    }

    // Reset password field
    $model->password = "";

    $this->render('create', array(
        'model' => $model,
    ));
}

Change that elseif from this:

elseif ($users->password !== crypt($this->password, $users->password))

To this:

elseif (strcmp(crypt($this->password, 'mysalt123'), $users->password))
