# CakePHP Authentication  [](https://packagist.org/packages/cakephp/authentication) [](https://packagist.org/packages/cakephp/authentication/stats) [](https://coveralls.io/r/cakephp/authentication?branch=master) [](LICENSE) [PSR7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) Middleware authentication stack for the CakePHP framework. Don't know what middleware is? [Check the CakePHP documentation](https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/controllers/middleware.html) and additionally [read this.](https://philsturgeon.uk/php/2016/05/31/why-care-about-php-middleware/) ## Authentication, not Authorization This plugin intends to provide a framework around authentication and user identification. Authorization is a [separate concern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns) that has been packaged into a separate [authorization plugin](https://github.com/cakephp/authorization). ## Installation You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [composer](https://getcomposer.org): ``` php composer.phar require cakephp/authentication ``` Load the plugin by adding the following statement in your project's `src/Application.php`: ```php public function bootstrap(): void { parent::bootstrap(); $this->addPlugin('Authentication'); } ``` ## Documentation Documentation for this plugin can be found in the [CakePHP Cookbook](https://book.cakephp.org/authentication/2/en/). ## IDE compatibility improvements For `AuthenticationService::loadIdentifier()` you an find an IdeHelper task in [IdeHelperExtra plugin](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-ide-helper-extra/).
