Multiple user login, with same table but with different roles.

You need to make your own guard. It means your session will have 2 type of auth users at same time. https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/authentication#authenticating-users https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/authentication#adding-custom-guards Or this video can solve your problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKRLrJXNN4M

@Agelios thank you i will check once. I had previously worked by making multiple guards using multiple tables but i am confused regarding single table.

@sadhakbj its doesnt matter, because you check role for each guard separately

@Agelios I followed the documentation, i created a new guard by adding it in the config/auth:

  'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model'  => App\Models\User::class,
        ],

        'clients' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model'  => App\Models\User::class,
        ],

'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver'   => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],

        'front' => [
            'driver'   => 'session',
            'provider' => 'clients',
        ],

Now, i do have a controller: Front/Auth/loginController:

       if ($this->guard()->attempt(['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password, 'active' => 1])) {
            dd(' i am logged in');
        }
    }

    /**
     * Front is the guard for front.
     * @return mixed
     */
    protected function guard()
    {
        return auth()->guard('front');
    }

So if I login from the backend i.e (/admin/login) and refresh here at the front, i am getting CSRF invalid message. I think this is because of session. But don't know how to solve it. Please help me. I want both of the logins at the same time.

How you have resolved this issue? Why we need to create middleware?
