Question

Does anyone know how to do separate login forms and authenticate on two different tables?
I can’t go with one table and different roles… client requested to do separate tables…

I’ve got user login system based on Yii framework login system. But now I have to do separate for admin user (administration module).

The way I solved this issue was to create two identical copies of this plugin from the Yii Framework library:

http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yii-user/

Then I refactored it and called it “Customer” and changed the config so that it used a different table etc.

In the configuration options for Yii, I also included these options to keep the sessions separate (config/main.php):

'components' => array(
    ...
    'user' => array(
        // enable cookie-based authentication
        'allowAutoLogin' => true,
        'loginUrl' => array('/user/login'),
        'class' => 'RWebUser', // added - possibly uses the Rights user manager
    ),
    'customer' => array(
        // enable cookie-based authentication
        'allowAutoLogin' => true,
        'loginUrl' => array('/customer/login'),
        'stateKeyPrefix' => 'customer',
    ),
    'customerUser' => array(
        'class' => 'CWebUser',
        'stateKeyPrefix' => 'customer',
        'loginUrl' => array('/customer/login'),
    ),
