Nevermind. It seems I was loading Auth as well as LoadsysAuth in my app controller causing the conflicts. $this->LoadsysAuth->allow() now works fine.

Actually, on closer inspection this seems to break other parts of the Auth component as well. $this->Auth->allow() ceases to work when this component is loaded as well as the double hashing of passwords as mentioned above. Does the author or anyone else have a possible solution to this?

This is a *really* nice component. I did have a problem with this in that my passwords were being double hashed by the Auth component. The solution was to only load this component in the controllers I’d be using it in.

Thanks for this article.
It would be a good suggestion to add it to the core imho.

Nice… I’ve been using a very similar trick from long time. Its really amazing that once you start developing keeping reusability in mind, you start producing some great code. I liked the idea of overloading of the component.
