I'm having some trouble figuring out how to log in. I thought I had
this working but it turns out not to be the case.

>From what I understand, the isAuthorized() method is called *after* a
successful login. But it seems that its presence causes login() to be
skipped entirely. My AppController has the following:

function beforeFilter()
{
        $this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'email', 'password' => 
'password');
        $this->Auth->authorize = 'controller';
        $this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 
'login');
        ...
}

function isAuthorized()
{
        if (isset($this->params[Configure::read('Routing.admin')]))
        {
                if ($this->Auth->user('model') != 'Admin')
                {
                        return false;
                }
        }
        return true;
}

For the moment, I don't require any particular controller to have is
Authorized(). In my UsersController, I have a login method that sets a
few things in the session. But, I found that the method was not even
being used in order to login. When I temporarily changed the name of
the above isAuthorized(), the login() would be called. However, I'd
then be faced with the "You are not authorized ..." msg.

When I commented out the $this->Auth->authorize = 'controller'; line
in beforeFilter(), I was able to log in, though the UsersController
login() is not used. What the heck is going on here?

So, it seems that I have a bit of chicken & egg situation. What's the
proper way to use this?
