$this->getRequest->getSession()->read('Auth') about users HOT 2 CLOSED

I don't know but it seems to rely on the request->getSession()->read('Auth') seems to be not working very good,

the user seems to be logged in but the request session auth is empty...

I have used

$authenticationConfig = Configure::read('Auth.AuthenticationComponent');
$this->loadComponent('Authentication.Authentication', $authenticationConfig);

in appcontroller so I can use the    

    $authUser = $this->Authentication->getIdentity(); 

in other controllers...

is it normal that session Auth is empty but the user appears to be logged in?

from users.

You should rely on the request attribute identity instead of the session because identity may not be persisted into the session . Use $user = $this->getRequest()->getAttribute('identity');

from users.
