Auth and private channel

[1e4]

Is there anyway to auth a user with laravels Auth::check() and only send data to private channels?

i don't know if you solved that problem, but the soluction is:

1 - Create PusherController

    public function auth()
    {
        // make your logic to allow autentication
        if (Input::has('channel_name') && Input::has('socket_id')) {
            $socket = Pusherer::socket_auth(Input::get('channel_name'), Input::get('socket_id'));
            return Response::make($socket);
        }

        return Response::make('Forbidden', 403);
    }

2 - routes.php, you need create /pusher/auth

Route::post('/pusher/auth',  array('as' => 'api.pusher', 'uses' => 'PusherController@auth'));

Done. Now whenever you subscribe to a channel with private prefix, you will consult this route to authenticate.
