Hi Mario,

I would make a copy of 'password' before it gets to the Auth
component, and add a rule for that instead. Something like:

function add()
{
        if (!empty($this->data))
        {
                $this->data['User']['password_plain'] = 
$this->data['User']['password'];
        }
}

var $validate = array(
        'username' => array(
                'isalphanumeric' => array(
                        'rule' => array('alphanumeric'),
                        'required' => true,
                        'allowEmpty' => false,
                        'message' => 'Only letters and numbers are allowed.'
                ),
                'unique' => array(
                        'rule' => array('checkUnique', 'username'),
                        'message' => 'User name taken. Please use another.'
                ),
                'notempty' => array(
                        'rule' => array('minLength', '6'),
                        'required' => true,
                        'allowEmpty' => false,
                        'message' => 'Username must have at least 6 characters'
                )
        ),
        'password' => array(
                        'required' => true,
                        'allowEmpty' => false,
                        'message' => 'Password can not be empty'

        )
        'password_plain' => array(
                        'rule' => array('minLength', '6'),
                        'required' => true,
                        'allowEmpty' => false,
                        'message' => 'Password must have at least 6 characters'

        )
}
