AuthenticationMiddleware: overview of version 2.0

You pointed me to this diagram in order to help to get the authentication clear (Authentication plugin: install & use).

It helps to see how the process proceeds step-by-step, that’s what’s meant for, that’s ok.

In order to get my questions answered, I have to map this diagram on the used CakePHP-files (for example, application.php etc.) to get an idea where at what place to change things to get the desired result. Because I’m a noob, I’ve no idea.

In case of my search to find how the get unauthenticated acces to ‘local:8765’, it’s in step 17 I guess? And now I have to figure out in what file to use what command. I’m not that familiar with UML, but is there a way to connect this diagram with how the steps are implemented?

(Typos in step 8 and in neughborhood step 17?).
