Laravel: Auth Attempt failed - laravel-4

Question

I have tried the following codes. But the auth attempt failed.
// validate the info, create rules for the inputs
$rules = array(
'email' => 'required|email', // make sure the email is an actual email
'password' => 'required|alphaNum|min:3' // password can only be alphanumeric and has to be greater than 3 characters
);
// run the validation rules on the inputs from the form
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
// if the validator fails, redirect back to the form
if ($validator->fails()) {
return Redirect::to('login')
->withErrors($validator) // send back all errors to the login form
->withInput(Input::except('password')); // send back the input (not the password) so that we can repopulate the form
} else {
// create our user data for the authentication
$userdata = array(
'Email' => Input::get('email'),
'Password' => Input::get('password')
);
// attempt to do the login
if (Auth::attempt($userdata)) {
// validation successful!
// redirect them to the secure section or whatever
// return Redirect::to('secure');
// for now we'll just echo success (even though echoing in a controller is bad)
echo 'SUCCESS!';
} else {
// validation not successful, send back to form
return Redirect::to('login')->with('message', 'Login Failed');
}
}
I have the following columns in Users table.
id,
Username,
Email,
created_at,
updated_at,
Password
I have changed the table name in model. Please advice. What's wrong?

Answer 1

Usually the convention is to make database columns lowercase. With the email column, that should not be a problem. As the documentation states, the 'email' field is only used as an example. http://laravel.com/docs/security#authenticating-users
To make Laravel use your capitalised password column. Open your user eloquent model and change:
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->password;
}
to:
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->Password;
}
Pretty sure that'll do the trick,
