This method works pre 3.x, take a look at my below answer for CakePHP 3.x. – Exuberant

Answer 2

The above answers have not proven to be successful in CakePHP3.

Configure::Read('Security.salt') will return a blank value.

In-order to read the salt from the configuration file you'll need to include the Security namespace:

use Cake\Utility\Security;

And you can retrieve the value of the salt using:

Security::salt()
