The page isn't redirecting properly

[tahiryasin]

After enabling module it shows me "The page isn't redirecting properly" and site is no longer accessible.

Here is config file http://codepad.org/ux4fCtEm

and here main controller class http://codepad.org/GFoPJn1s

I think it's because you have not allowed the guests (anonymous users) to access the login page.

@softark thanks for your reply but that is what I want to know, can you please tell me how can I allow guests for some actions?

[softark]

Probably you have to do the following:

1. Create a role 'guest' for the guest users.
2. Define 'guest' as a default role.
3. Create an operation 'site.login' for the login page. ... I assume that your login page is 'in 'site' controller and the action is 'login'.
4. Add 'site.login' operation as a child to 'guest' role.

How do you define role 'guest' as default role? I can't use defaultRoles in main.php within array authManager

[softark]

As you see in the guide, you can define the default roles in the config file.
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.auth#using-business-rules

And, well, I think the 'guest' role won't need a business rule, because everyone should have the rights as a guest.

Ah, I've found another simple solution in a comment of auth extension.
You can just exclude the actions for the guests from the filter.

public function filters()
{
    return array(
        array('auth.filters.AuthFilter - login, test'),
    );
}

I mean, this won't work
[protected/config/main.php]

        'authManager'=>array(
            'defaultRoles'=>array('guest'),
            'behaviors' => array(
                array(
                    'class'=>'auth.components.AuthBehavior',
                    'admins' => array('admin'), // a list of users who has access to the module.
                ),
            ),
        ),

[protected/components/controller.php]
add:

    public function filters()
    {
        return array(
            array('auth.filters.AuthFilter'),
        );
    }

add role guest using yii-auth with operation site.*
operation user.login.* (yii-user module)

I get error:
Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

Sorry, I think this "issue" should be closed.
This is not a good place for discussing this kind of problems. The forum is more appropriate for them.

This did the trick #53.
Thanks m-nel ;-)
