Migrating to Sentinel I am stuck in the activation process. The findUserByActivationCode method is missing in Sentinel. You can only activate an account by passing a User object. But people are not logged in when not activated.

What's the correct workflow to activate without logging in? Or should I create a Pull Request with the method ;-)

Your Environment

• OS and Version: Ubuntu 18
• PHP Version: 7.2.19
• Sentinel Version: 3.0.1

Expected behaviour

Please describe what you are expecting to see happening.

Add permissions to roles with the addPermission Method

Actual behaviour

Please describe what is actually happening.

It throws an error:

array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given.

In my table I have the role root with null permissions.

//This is the code that its not working:
 In EloquentRole.class. This method is failling.

 public function addPermission(string $permission, bool $value = true): PermissibleInterface
    {
        if (! array_key_exists($permission, $this->permissions)) {
            $this->permissions = array_merge($this->permissions, [$permission => $value]);
        }

        return $this;
    }

This only happens when roles.permissions = null. But if you update the field to '[]' instead of null it works.

Steps to reproduce

If your issue requires any specific steps to reproduce, please outline them here.

1. Create a role with no permissions, permissions = null. $role = new Role();
2. Add permissions to the role. $role->addPermission('update_sales');

It is possible to make it works for laravel passport, I used the sentinel user and extended using the Authenticatable class.

But when I do $request->user() is null

With the addition of Laravel's Authorization features, it would be nice to leverage Policies to have finer control of permissions.

The only way I have been able to get Policies and Sentinel to work together is by manually authenticating with Laravel's Auth along side Sentinel. Policies want to resolve the authenticated user via Auth before it continues to check the policy. That is where an integration point would be beneficial; having the authenticated user be resolved via Sentinel rather than Auth.

$checkpoint = new Your\Custom\Checkpoint;
Sentinel::addCheckpoint('your_checkpoint', $checkpoint);

I'm on laravel 5.1, where in my code should this be put? I've tried adding it in boot() and register() in AppServiceProvider.php but It gives me an error.

I am creating an app using Laravel 5.1 and Sentinel. I have created custom Http Middleware to check whether the user is guest or authenticated. The problem that I am facing is Sentinel::check() and Sentinel::getUser() always returns FALSE in the Middleware's even when the user is logged in.

I have gone through the code and can't understand what causing the issue. I am running the application on a virtual homestead development server.

Can anyone provide some insight into why this may be happening?

Hello,

I'm not sure this is a problem with the package, but maybe it is, so I'm also posting it here.

Here's the link to the Stack Overflow question I made: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40475580/laravels-eloquent-method-getkey-returns-the-first-number-of-the-uuid

Thanks!

This call failed: if (Sentinel::inRole('admin')) with error "Fatal error: Call to a member function getRoleId() on integer"

I noticed that the anonymous function in EloquentUser.php has the arguments switched https://github.com/cartalyst/sentinel/blob/2.0/src/Users/EloquentUser.php#L197

Instead of $role = array_first($this->roles, function ($index, $instance) use ($role) { should be $role = array_first($this->roles, function ($instance, $index) use ($role) {

We have a private community site, using Laravel 5.1 and Sentinel providing the Auth system. We're having an issue where users are randomly getting logged out. I've looked through the code and can't figure out what's causing the issue.

It's not after inactivity either, you could be browsing the site and randomly get logged out.

Can anyone provide some insight into why this may be happening?

Trying to format the last login timestamps with Carbon via an accessor. To try and debug I attempted to just return the value:

public function getLastLoginAttribute($timestamp)
{
    return $timestamp;
}

It returns null. I then changed to $this->last_login but then received an Undefined Property error.

Has there been any work on using Sentinel with Doctrine? I'm happy to do it myself, if there aren't any packages that provide it - but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been done.

Will it be as simple as writing Doctrine versions of the current Eloquent* models? Or will I run into any other challenges?

Hello, I am using sentinel for authentication in my project, when i used the project on my local machine(code + db on same machine ), it worked well. Right now, the code is in my machine and the database is another machine. The project is connecting to database but when trying to login, it returns null value for authenticate();

Your Environment

• OS and Version: MacOS v12.4
• PHP Version: 7.4.27
• Sentinel Version: ^5.0

Expected behaviour

Login with username or email

Actual behaviour

When I use DB::enableQueryLog(), I noticed that it only check for email only, not username as well. I've created custom model that extend Cartalyst\Sentinel\User\EloquentUser and insert this code protected $loginNames = ['email', 'username']; But it's not working. I've tried from [this link](https://github.com/cartalyst/sentinel/issues/554#issuecomment-805941671

Your Environment

• OS and Version: Windows 10
• PHP Version: 7.3
• Sentinel Version: 5.0

Hi guys, I am trying out Sentinel, but I am facing a challenge. Each time I call the Activation::complete method like this (Activation::complete($user, 'epzDOg6OHsHKLq5f5SPPdg7A9iUh2ukC')) I get an error message. `PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: A facade root has not been set. in C:\wamp64\www\practice\vendor\illuminate\support\Facades\Facade.php:258

Using the Sentinel::registerAndActivate() method works fine; user is created and activated. But I want activation to be done separately. Please any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Your Environment

• OS and Version: MacOS, Laravel 6
• PHP Version: 8
• Sentinel Version: 3.0.4

Expected behaviour

Activation::completed($user) to return boolean

Actual behaviour

Activation::completed($user) results in error Cartalyst\Sentinel\Users\EloquentUser::getUserId(): Return value must be of type int, null returned

public function getUserId(): int { return $this->getKey(); }

Steps to reproduce

Calling Activation::completed() anywhere leads to this error

I am creating and migrating databases on the fly, and have managed to successfully do this with seeding of data.

However, when it comes to seeding a user on this new db using Sentinel::registerAndActivate , Sentinel defaults back to the main connection and creates a user on that connection.

It doesn't respect the connection that I have specified for the new database via config('database.connection')

Is there a workaround for this?

Description

I am searching to configure prefix in database tables, to use multiple login or to implementing better organization in database infraestruture.

Example

tables: activations >> PREFIX_activations persistences >> PREFIX_persistences reminders>> PREFIX_reminders roles >> PREFIX_roles role_users >> PREFIX_role_users throttle > PREFIX_throttle users > PREFIX_users
