Password Hash Method In Book Does Not Work, Got Error.

[Edmond]

I followed the book in page 208 -209, chapter 9.

 

But when I tested it, I got this error, I looked up in the documentation, this method exists... 

 

 

CException

CSecurityManager and its behaviors do not have a method or closure named "computeHMAC".

[Jonathon]

My bad I thought you said "doesn't exist"

[Edmond]

So that's why it's confusing me...

 

Anyone got the same problem?

[Edmond]

Anyway, I chose the option 

 

$pass = hash_hmac('sha256', $pass, Yii::app()->params['encryptionKey']);

 

This worked.

[Larry]

I'll double check it myself to see. Could you post the exact code you were using?

[Luis]

the same for me, same CException

[Larry]

Thanks, Luis. Could you post the exact code you're using? 

[Luis]

thankyou Larry, the code:

 

------------config/main.php

    // application components
    'components'=>array(
        'user'=>array(
            // enable cookie-based authentication
            'allowAutoLogin'=>true,
        ),
        
        'securityManager' => array(
        'hashAlgorithm' => 'sha256',
        'validationKey' => 'lvkj23mn5;9 cjl;sd;ij25KJE5r'),
        
--------------model
    protected function beforeSave(){
        $this->password = Yii::app()->securityManager->computeHMAC($this->password);
        return parent::beforeSave();
    }

--------------ERROR
CException

CSecurityManager and its behaviors do not have a method or closure named "computeHMAC".

C:\wamp\www\yii-1-1-13\framework\base\CComponent.php(265)

Thanks, Luis! I'm going back through the entire book so far as part of the next update and I'll give this a look-see.

[Luis]

Thanks Larry, The Yii Book is really great, I'm waiting for the oncomming chapters

[Larry]

Thank you very much. And thanks for your patience. I know it's coming more slowly than people would prefer (including myself).

Did you guys look at the YII requirements script? I would guess you are failing the test for HMAC support. You need that extension installed.
