I'm new to cakephp and have set up the 'Simple Acl controlled Application' successfully, but I was a bit concerned about the way AuthComponent works went it stores passwords. I found that if the same password is used for different logins then the value stored is the same, which allows anyone with access.
I prefer the method used by the IBM tutorial at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-php-encrypt/ which uses crypt on two md5 hashes the userid and password guarenteeing a unique value. $cleanpw = crypt(md5($pw),md5($user)); Is there a way I can implement this method using the AuthComponent.
