Could you provide some code? It will be easier to help ;)

Thanks for trying to help . Below is the code ... I have hard coded the validation of the user to dummyuser .but i would like to validate it using the database. The problem is how to fetch the data in the provider . The Eloquent ORM does not seem to work it Throws an error saying Trying to get property of non-object.

namespace App\Auth;

use App\UserPoa; use Illuminate\Auth\GenericUser; use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as UserContract; use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\UserProvider as UserProvider;

class CustomUserProvider implements UserProvider { /** * Retrieve a user by their unique identifier. * * @param mixed $identifier * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable|null */ public function retrieveById($identifier) { // TODO: Implement retrieveById() method. return $this->dummyUser(); }

/**
 * Retrieve a user by by their unique identifier and "remember me" token.
 *
 * @param  mixed $identifier
 * @param  string $token
 * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable|null
 */
public function retrieveByToken($identifier, $token)
{
	// TODO: Implement retrieveByToken() method.
	dd(dd3);
}

/**
 * Update the "remember me" token for the given user in storage.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable $user
 * @param  string $token
 * @return void
 */
public function updateRememberToken(UserContract $user, $token)
{
	// TODO: Implement updateRememberToken() method.
	dd(dd2);
}

/**
 * Retrieve a user by the given credentials.
 *
 * @param  array $credentials
 * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable|null
 */
public function retrieveByCredentials(array $credentials)
{
	// TODO: Implement retrieveByCredentials() method.


	return $this->dummyUser();

}

/**
 * Validate a user against the given credentials.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable $user
 * @param  array $credentials
 * @return bool
 */
public function validateCredentials(UserContract $user, array $credentials)
{
	// TODO: Implement validateCredentials() method.
	// we'll assume if a user was retrieved, it's good
	return true;
}



/**
 * Return a generic fake user
 */
protected function dummyUser()
{
	$attributes = array(
		'id' =>123,
		'username' => 'chuckles',
		'password' => \Hash::make('SuperSecret'),
		'name' => 'Dummy User',
	);


	return new GenericUser($attributes);
}

}
