Hi, I have the cakedc/users which was working but after baking my first table there is an endless redirect loop occurring. Fails with “too many redirects”

If I comment out the config/bootstrap.php line with ‘Plugin::load(‘CakeDC/Users’, [‘routes’ =\> true, ‘bootstrap’ =\> true]);’ It stops the redirect but also does not authenticate.

I have adminLTE theme installed as well.

I had a similar problem because of this: [https://github.com/CakeDC/users/issues/549](https://github.com/CakeDC/users/issues/549)

Thanks. I can’t find any documentation that tells how to create the config/permissions.php file. I can find references to it but it assumes a vast amount of familiarity.

Correction: I did figure out by finding other files named permissions.php and reading the information there. Should that not be part of the installation? From the root directory of the app

> cp vendors/cakedc/auth/config/permissions.php config/  
> vim config/permissions #add the line above to the return array.

My problem now is that the authentication does not work, I can reset the password then back to login screen. I can create a new user at the command line and that works? try [http://minivacs.magna.net](http://minivacs.magna.net) its just a test/learning space.
