cakephp 2.0 how to update auth data?

Question

when I update data in the User model, the Auth data is not updated.

How can I \"refresh\" the data which is returned by $this->Auth->user() when I am updating user model

Answer 1

Write the updated data to the Session eg:

$this->Session->write('Auth.User', $data);

Before CakePHP 2.x you can't do this in the model without break the framework design.

With CakePHP 2.x you can load the Session Component from models and update it.
