Hi folks,

I wonder if I can add additional conditions for authentication.

In my application I have users belonging to different groups (using auth
and acl). For various reasons I don't want to delete user accounts, but
I want to be able to set them inactive. 

So far I did that with setting a field "deleted" in the users table to
true.

Now I have authentication in place and I wonder if I can still check on
this field at the login action or if I have to transfer inactive users
to a user group which has no access rights on anything. I don't like teh
second option, because they could still login although won't see
anything afterwards. Setting them inactive by the field seems cleaner to
me, because then I can still see in which group they were, when they
were active.

I checked this tutorial:
http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2007/09/11/a-hopefully-useful-tu
torial-for-using-cakephps-auth-component/
But there they merely write things to the cookie and don't do real
authentication check.
Or can I add this to the parentNode function in the user model?

Any idea what the best approach would be?

Thank you in advance!

Anja
