I am creating a Laravel Website with multiple guards. My Goal is to be able to login as Admin, Employee and User using session and User-API using passport. Everything worked fine. However, I wasn't able to Login as Employee.
Here is the git repo. Please check employee branch and database seeders. Git Repo
I will share the steps and code here to find where the problem is:
- I created the necessary guards, providers and password brokers
- I updated the Employee model
- I updated the RedirectIfAuthenticated and Authenticate middlewares
- I created the necessary routes and controllers
Here is all this code:
Here is config/auth.php file which I have 4 guards web, api, admin, and employee with their providers and password brokers:
<?php
return [
/*

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| reset options for your application. You may change these defaults

|
*/
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'web',
'passwords' => 'users',
],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Guards
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Next, you may define every authentication guard for your application.
| Of course, a great default configuration has been defined for you
| here which uses session storage and the Eloquent user provider.
|
| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the
| users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage
| mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.

Here is the Employee.php Model:
<?php
namespace App;
use App\Traits\Permissions\HasPermissionsTrait;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use App\Notifications\Employee\ResetPasswordNotification as EmployeeResetPasswordNotification;
class Employee extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable, HasPermissionsTrait;
protected $guard = 'employee';
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
/**
* Send the password reset notification.
*
* @param string $token
* @return void
*/
public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token)
{
$this->notify(new EmployeeResetPasswordNotification($token));
}
}
This is the RedirectIfAuthenticated.php class in App\Http\Middleware:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class RedirectIfAuthenticated
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @param string|null $guard
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
if ($guard == "admin" && Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
return redirect(RouteServiceProvider::ADMINHOME);
}
if ($guard == "employee" && Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
return redirect(RouteServiceProvider::EMPLOYEEHOME);
}
if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
return redirect('/home');
}
return $next($request);
}
}
Here is Authenticate.php class in App\Http\Middleware:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate as Middleware;
class Authenticate extends Middleware
{
/**
* Get the path the user should be redirected to when they are not authenticated.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return string|null
*/
protected function redirectTo($request)
{
if ($request->expectsJson()) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
}
if ($request->is('admin') || $request->is('admin/*')) {
return route('admin.login');
}
if ($request->is('employee') || $request->is('employee/*')) {
return route('employee.login');
}
if (! $request->expectsJson()) {
return route('login');
}
}
}
Here are the Employee Routes:
Route::prefix('employee')->group(function() {
Route::get('/', 'Employee\HomeController@index')->name('employee.dashboard');
Route::get('/home', 'Employee\HomeController@index')->name('employee.home');
// Login Logout Routes
Route::get('/login', 'Auth\Employee\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('employee.login');
Route::post('/login', 'Auth\Employee\LoginController@login')->name('employee.login.submit');
Route::post('/logout', 'Auth\Employee\LoginController@logout')->name('employee.logout');
// Password Resets Routes
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\Employee\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('employee.password.email');
Route::get('password/reset', 'Auth\Employee\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('employee.password.request');
Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\Employee\ResetPasswordController@reset')->name('employee.password.update');
Route::get('/password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\Employee\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('employee.password.reset');
});
And Finally here is the App\Http\Controllers\Auth\Employee\LoginController.php:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth\Employee;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Login Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles authenticating employees for the application and
| redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
| to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
|
*/
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::EMPLOYEEHOME;
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest:employee')->except('logout');
}
/**
* Get the guard to be used during authentication.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\StatefulGuard
*/
protected function guard()
{
return Auth::guard('employee');
}
public function showLoginForm()
{
return view('auth.employee-login');
}
/**
* Handle a login request to the application.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse|\Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse
*
*/
public function login(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required|min:6'
]);
$credentials = ['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password];
$remember_token = $request->get('remember');
if ($res = $this->guard()->attempt($credentials, $remember_token)) {
return redirect()->intended('/employee/home');
}
return back()->withInput($request->only('email', 'remember'));
}
public function logout()
{
Auth::guard('employee')->logout();
return redirect('/');
}
}
THE PROBLEM IS:
In the login function the attempt function is returning true but the redirect is returning me back to the login page, which means the Employee/HomeController.php which has the middleware auth:employee in its constructor is kicking me out and returning me to Authenticate middleware which in turns returns me to the employee login page.
I Checked:
if ($res = $this->guard()->attempt($credentials, $remember_token)) {
return redirect()->intended('/employee/home');
}
In this if statement in the LoginController the following:
-- dd(Auth::guard('employee')->check()); It returned true.
-- dd(Auth::guard('employee')->user()); It returned:

I still can't find where the problem is.. Any help. Thank you.
if ($res = $this->guard('employee')->attempt($credentials, $remember_token)) {orif (Auth::guard('employee')->attempt($credentials)) {instead emptyguard(). Check Accessing Specific Guard Instances section. – Tpojkaif ($res = $this->guard('employee')->attempt($credentials, $remember_token))will work because guard() is a function in LoginController which returnsAuth::guard('employee')and doesn't have any argument in brackets to be passed to it. – Hilal Najemif ($res = Auth::guard('employee')->attempt($credentials, $remember_token))I will still have the same problem and same question. – Hilal Najem
