无法获取CakePHP Cookbook简单ACL示例工作

Question

I'm having problems getting ACL working with CakePHP. I've been working with the CakePHP Cookbook 2.0 example Simple Acl controlled Application , and have gone through the steps twice, but I've run into the same problem both times.

Everything appears to be setup correctly.

• I'm able to create my groups, and users.
• The table appears to have the same rows shown in the example on the web.
• The and tables appear to get populated with values that resemble the article.
• And when I visit a page that's setup to be protected, I'm presented with the login page.

But when I login using the account I created, I see the following error:

Warning (512): DbAcl::check() - 
Failed ARO/ACO node lookup in permissions check.  Node     references:
Aro: Array
(
[User] => Array
    (
        [id] => 1
        [username] => dc
        [email] => myemail@somedomain.com
        [group_id] => 1
        [created] => 2011-10-27 14:58:59
        [modified] => 2011-10-27 14:58:59
    )
)  
Aco: /Posts/add [CORE/Cake/Controller/Component/AclComponent.php, line 303]

That account is setup as an administrator, and the administrator group has been granted access to everything ... so if it works, I shouldn't have a problem ... but it seems like there's a lower-level problem that's getting in my way. I can post my DB tables as well if that'd be helpful, but figured I'd start here. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Answer 1

The documentation was updated to address this issue. If you add this in the beforeFilter method in AppController it resolves the problem.

$this->Auth->authorize = array(
    AuthComponent::ALL => array('actionPath' => 'controllers'),
    'Actions',
);

Answer 2

Add $this->Auth->allow('initDB'); in beforeFilter()
