I came to this component page from your comment on the http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/remember-me-a-component-to-add-upon-basic-auth bakery article in the hope your solution would work but I am having no joy.

Not sure if I'm being daft but it seems you missed out two things above:

1. Need to add 'RememberMe' component to AppController
2. Add a 'User.remember_me' checkbox to the login form

Despite doing these things the RememberMe->check() function keeps returning at the following point.

if (!is_array($cookie) || $this->Auth->user())
return;

A cookie never gets created ... any ideas?

Hi Paul!

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. For the rest of the code please refer to my previous articles on the subject, or download NeutrinoCMS (beta) for a live example (I'm using it on this site and can confirm that it works). Hope that will help!

Good luck!

Could it be something to do with the fact I am running my site securely? (i.e. on https://)

It is possible. I've never used cookies over SSL, but as far as I know, if you write a cookie over SSL it will be readable over SSL only and not by regular HTTP. So basically, check if you're reading and writing over the same protocol :)

Although it is strange that you cookie is never created.. could your browser settings be messed up?

In any case, good luck!

Couple of points:

1. AppController also needs the 'Auth' component, before 'RememberMe'.

2. UserController cannot have a beforeFilter (such as $this->Auth->allow()), as this seems to conflict with the beforeFilter of the AppController. I had to move everything to the beforeFilter of the AppController.
