Question

Hi I am trying to add a custom admin panel to my laravel project. I have a login page. After entering valid email and password user can login to dashboard. But Problem is when i enter valid email and password it always stay in the login screen.
Here is my login form
<form class="form-horizontal" action="{{ route('admin.login') }}" method="post">
{!! csrf_field() !!}
<fieldset>
<div class="input-prepend" title="Email">
<span class="add-on"><i class="halflings-icon user"></i></span>
<input class="input-large span10" name="email" required maxlength="100" id="email" type="text" placeholder="type useremail"/>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="input-prepend" title="Password">
<span class="add-on"><i class="halflings-icon lock"></i></span>
<input class="input-large span10" name="password" required id="password" type="password" placeholder="type password"/>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<label class="remember" for="remember"><input type="checkbox" id="remember" />Remember me</label>
<div class="button-login">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Login</button>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</fieldset>
</form>
Here is my route
Route::get('/admin/login', [
'as' => 'admin.login',
'uses' => 'AdminController#getLogin'
]);
Route::post('/admin/login', [
'as' => 'admin.login',
'uses' => 'AdminController#postLogin'
]);
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'
], function () {
Route::get('/admin', [
'as' => 'dashboard',
'uses' => 'AdminController#index']);
Route::get('/logout', [
'as' => 'logout',
'uses' => 'AdminController#getLogout'
]);
});
Here is my admin Controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Auth;
class AdminController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('admin.admin_master');
}
public function getLogin()
{
return view('admin.admin_login');
}
public function postLogin(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required'
]);
if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $request['email'], 'password' => $request['password']])) {
// Authentication passed...
return redirect()->route('dashboard');
}
return redirect()->back()->with(['fail' => 'Could not Login']);
}
public function getLogout()
{
Auth::logout();
return redirect()->route('admin.login');
}
}
Here is Authenticate.php
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class Authenticate
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #param string|null $guard
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
if (Auth::guard($guard)->guest()) {
if ($request->ajax()) {
return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
} else {
return redirect()->guest(route('admin.login'))->
withError('You must be logged in !');
}
}
return $next($request);
}
}

Answer 1

Try this middleware
public function __construct(Guard $auth)
{
$this->auth = $auth;
}
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if ($this->auth->guest()) {
if ($request->ajax()) {
return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
} else {
return redirect('/admin/login'); //edited line
}
}
return $next($request);
}
Try using absolute route instead of using it's alias.

Answer 2

May be it's redirect to login page, because both of your route are same for view getLogin and postLogin. Try to use action() method instead of route() in form action. Ex:
<form class="form-horizontal" action="{{ action('AdminController#postLogin') }}" method="post">
// other codes....
</form>
Tips: If you are using Laravel 5.2 put all of your route inside 'middleware'=>'web'. Ex:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
// put your routes here.......
}

Answer 3

I had the same problem. I solved it using Auth:login($array). Change your code to
public function postLogin(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required'
]);
$data = $request->input();
if(Auth::login($data)){
return redirect('/dashboard');
}
return redirect()->back()->with(['fail' => 'Could not Login']);
}
