I need to do two authentications, one for clients another for administrators, so I have to have two instance of auth; how to do this in Laravel, where I have a client table and another for administrators?

php laravel-4 laravel-auth

  • why it has 2 tables?

  • one of clients and the other of administrators.

  • I believe that the ideal is for you to create a specific table for login, which will be "linked" either with customers or with administrators (specialization). So it looks better even working, because imagine that in one table the name of the user is 'name', and in another 'full name', you will have to fill your system of if (or create accessors, but still).

The most practical method is to configure the authentication on the route where needed:

Config::set('auth.model', 'Admin');

or set to a URI standard

if ($request->is('admin*'))
{
    Config::set('auth.model', 'Admin');
}

Thus, the Model Admin shall be responsible for authentication.

I believe it is the case to create a new Auth class Illuminate\Auth\Guard and some Facades, to replicate the Auth component. Then you would, for example, an authentication using Auth::attempt() and one using your authentication, MeuAuth::attempt().
