Question

I have this code from Yii Example

private function _checkAuth()
{
    // Check if we have the USERNAME and PASSWORD HTTP headers set?
    if(!(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_USERNAME']) and isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_PASSWORD']))) {
        // Error: Unauthorized

        $this->_sendResponse(401);
    }
    $username = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_USERNAME'];
    $password = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_PASSWORD'];
    // Find the user
    $user=User::model()->find('LOWER(username)=?',array(strtolower($username)));
    $this->_sendResponse('200','$username');
    if($user===null) {
        // Error: Unauthorized
        $this->_sendResponse(401, 'Error: User Name is invalid');
    } 

    else if(!$user->validatePassword($password)) {
        // Error: Unauthorized
        $this->_sendResponse(401, 'Error: User Password is invalid');
    }
}

How to set header information for authentication.
How to set HTTP_X_USERNAME and HTTP_X_PASSWORD in request;

for the name, value and body of RESTClient addon?
Thank for advance

Answer 1

I understand your question (same as this post in yii forum) relates to the RESTClient addon. To set your headers in the RESTClient addon: use the ‘headers’ functionality:

• List item
• menu ‘Headers’
• ‘Custom Header’
• ‘Name’ : X_PASSWORD
• ‘Value’ : emo

And the same with X_USERNAME.

HTH,
