Authentication

Authenticate a user (by detecting the authentication provider)

in this instance camelot auth expects the url to contain the name of authentication provider you want to call for example http://www.domain.com/login/facebook this route will call the login page and call the oauth2 driver with the settings for the facebook authentication provider

---

Example

Route::any('login/{provider?}/{callback?}',function(){
	try
	{
		Camelot::authenticate();

		if(Camelot::check()){
			echo 'Welcome'.Camelot::User()->first_name.' '.Camelot::User()->last_name.' you have been successfully logged in';
		}
	}
	catch(\Exception $e)
	{
			echo 'user could not be logged in';
	}
});

Authenticate a user (by specifying the authentication provider)

in this instance you will specify the required driver and authentication provider and then try to authenticate

---

Example

Route::any('login/{provider?}/{callback?}',function(){
	try
	{
		Camelot::loadDriver('oauth2client','facebook');
		Camelot::authenticate();

		if(Camelot::check()){
			echo 'Welcome'.Camelot::User()->first_name.' '.Camelot::User()->last_name.' you have been successfully logged in';
		}
	}
	catch(\Exception $e)
	{
			echo 'user could not be logged in';
	}
});

Authenticate a user (by providing credentials)

some drivers (such as the form driver) expect credentials to be provided to be able to authenticate a user

---

Example

Route::post('login',function(){
	try
	{
		// lets specify the local form authentication driver
		Camelot::loadDriver('local');

		$credentials = array('username'=>'taftse','password'=>'Excalibur');

		Camelot::authenticate($credentials);

		if(Camelot::check()){
			echo 'Welcome'.Camelot::User()->first_name.' '.Camelot::User()->last_name.' you have been successfully logged in';
		}
		
	}
	catch(\Exception $e)
	{
			echo 'user could not be logged in';
	}
});
