Laravel custom authentication user fields - laravel

Question

I created a table fields with costume fields names fld_ID, fld_Username, fld_Password but i can't use this fields type on simple laravel Authentication, so i defined my ID field name on user model except laravel-4:
protected $primaryKey = 'fld_ID';
and for Password name:
public function getAuthPassword() {
return $this->attributes['fld_Password'];
}
and finally for my username on Post Action Defined a username type for attempt:
$input = Input::all();
$user['fld_Username'] = $input['fld_Username'];
$user['fld_Password'] = $input['fld_Password'];
if (Auth::attempt($user)){
....Some Code Here... :)
}
but still i have problem with and Auth::attempt return false, my last Query log is this:
Array ( [query] => select * from `tbl_users` where `fld_Username` = ? and `fld_Password` = ? limit 1 [bindings] => Array ( [0] => username [1] => password )
and password is Hashed before save.

Answer 1

Because you changed the password field's name, you need to make a custom user provider and register it in config file.
As you can see in vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Auth\EloquentUserProvider.php line 138 the password field is hard coded and there is no other way to change it.
So make a class somewhere is app folder like this:
class CustomUserProvider extends EloquentUserProvider
{
public function retrieveByCredentials(array $credentials)
{
if (isset($credentials['fld_Password'])) {
unset($credentials['fld_Password']);
}
return parent::retrieveByCredentials($credentials);
}
public function validateCredentials(UserContract $user, array $credentials)
{
$plain = $credentials['fld_Password'];
return $this->hasher->check($plain, $user->getAuthPassword());
}
}
Now you need to introduce this user provider to laravel. just add this to app\Providers\AuthServiceProvider.php:
class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
//...
public function boot()
{
\Auth::provider('CustomUserProvider', function ($app, array $config) {
return new CustomUserProvider($app['hash'], $config['model']);
});
}
//...
}
Just one more step. in config/auth.php edit the providers section like this:
'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'CustomUserProvider', // make sure you change this
'model' => CustomUserModel::class, // here is your custom model
],
],
I hope this will help you.

Answer 2

The array you pass to attempt is simply an array; it has nothing to do with your database table. you don't have to use 'fld_Username', and 'fld_Password'. Instead just use $user['username'] and $user['password'].
Laravel is looking for the word "password" as the key in the array you pass to see which is the password.

Simply override the username function from LoginController and return your username field, just like this:
class LoginController extends Controller
{
.
.
.
public function username()
{
return "fld_Username";
}
}
No need to change anything else except the getAuthPassword method that you just did correctly.
I hope this will help you.
