PHP/ CakePHP and friendsofCake/CRUD --> authentication -
i have web application built in php, running behind apache. application uses own security logic , sets $_session['username'] valid username if user logs web interface
the original developer has moved on, , adding apis app people can develop 3rd party apps connect. api layer uses friendsofcake crud https://github.com/friendsofcake/crud
the api working great, , want add authentication. know rest apis should stateless etc. in application, people can use apis must able log web console.
given core php app handling authentication , sets $_session, want crud apis check if $_session['user'] user set.
the logic follows: a) http://server/login.php post credentials (not via api layer) b) http://server/api/
if a) not done, b) won't work. goal.
how access $_session ? when try , access in api controller 1 of apis, not defined. available php apps current app uses.
note apis , backend app running on same server so: web/ --> server php code web/api --> api code (via foc crud)
