Thank you so much for your reply. After researching more into this,
it looks like I was doing things the correct way from the get-go. My
only issue was not instantiating the Zend_Auth_Result object properly.
The right way to do it would look something like this:
$code = Zend_Auth_Result::FAILURE;
new Zend_Auth_Result($code, $this->username, array());
Thank you for your response, that got me thinking in the right
direction about the issue and I eventually came up with the right way
to do it.
