Comment (by iwat):

 After digging down into ''AuthComponent'' source code I realized
 that[[BR]]
 - I only need to subclass the ''AuthComponent'' for login
 page/controller[[BR]]
 - I don't have to do anything in another controller since they only check
 authentication validity with ''AuthComponent->user()'' method[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 If my understanding is correct, then it's not important to add a custom
 variable to ''AuthComponent'', right? But if that's so...[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 Why ''AuthComponent'' allow custom ''authenticate'' variable which enable
 developer to override the default hashing algorithm? This can be in a
 subclass way either.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 Just curious.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 But for this ticket, I think it's OK to close it. (WorksForMe :)
