Laravel 4.2 auth:attempt fails - authentication

Question

I can't find this website and I can't figure out what is wrong with my code.
I am trying to get true for var_dump(Auth::attempt()), but it is always false.
This is my controllers method:
public function vartotojoPrisijungimoForma(){
$view = View::make('vartotojai.vartotojoPrisijungimoForma',
array('title'=>'Vartotojo Prisijungimas'));
var_dump(Auth::attempt(array('vardas'=>'aaaaa','pw'=>'aaaaa')));
return $view;
}
In my database the username is stored as vardas and password as pw
My auth.php file looks like this:
<?php
return array(
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => 'Vartotojai',
'table' => 'vartotojai',
'reminder' => array(
'email' => 'emails.auth.reminder',
'table' => 'password_reminders',
'expire' => 60,
),
);
And the model file which is Vartotojai.php, looks like this:
<?php
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
class Vartotojai extends ModeliuBaze implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface{
protected $table = 'vartotojai';
public $timestamps = false;
protected static $rules = array(
'vardas'=>'required|unique:vartotojai|min:4|regex:/[a-zA-Z]$/',
'pw'=>'required|alpha_num|between:4,8|confirmed',
'pw_confirmation'=>'required|alpha_num|between:4,8'
);
protected static $messages = array(
'required' => ':attribute laukelis tuscias!',
'min'=> ':attribute laukelyje galimas minimalus(:min) simboliu kiekis!',
'between' => ':attribute laukelis gali buti nuo :min - :max simboliu intervale!',
'vardas.regex'=> ':attribute turi atitikti siuos simbolius (a-zA-Z)',
'unique'=> 'Jau vartotojas su tokiu vardu uzregistruotas!',
'alpha_num'=>':attribute laukelyje galima rasyti tik skaicius ir raides!',
'confirmed'=>'Nesutampa slaptazodziai!'
);
protected $hidden = array('password');
public function getAuthIdentifier(){
return $this->getKey();
}
public function getAuthPassword(){
return $this->password;
}
public function getRememberToken(){
return $this->remember_token;
}
public function setRememberToken($value){
$this->remember_token = $value;
}
public function getRememberTokenName(){
return 'remember_token';
}
public function getReminderEmail(){
return $this->email;
}
}
I tried to check Hash:
public function vartotojoPrisijungimoForma(){
$view = View::make('vartotojai.vartotojoPrisijungimoForma',
array('title'=>'Vartotojo Prisijungimas'));
$pw = Vartotojai::find('5');
var_dump(Auth::attempt(array('vardas'=>'aaaaa','pw'=>'aaaaa')));
var_dump(Hash::check('aaaaa',$pw->pw));
return $view;
}
And hash check shows true.

Answer 1

You either need to change your password field from 'pw' to 'password' in your database. Laravel validates the credentials with 'password'.
OR
You could change this function to:
public function getAuthPassword(){
return $this->pw;
}
Then your attempt function should be:
var_dump(Auth::attempt(array('vardas'=>'aaaaa','password'=>'aaaaa')));
