As long as it is SQL server security, it is essentially a table, and you should be able to model that with Cake. You basically just need the model for your users data and point Auth at that model.
That said, I have never tried this with SQL express, so it might take a bit of playing to get it to work. Ultimately to use Auth, you have to tell Cake about the tables to use for authentication, and I'm thinking there would be a fair amount of code you'd need to add to get it to work with a table that is storing data differently than the standard Auth expects (e.g. - hashed passwords for instance).
