That will not work.
Take this for example.
self.settings.download_url = self.url('download')
So what is actually in self.settings.download_url ??? It's not a
function, its a string that was already generated.
If you follow the function definition at self.url() you notice it
returns self.environment.URL(...), this is a string.
So you can't do
auth.settings.controller = 'myadmin'
Because the URLS have already been generated and strings created from them.
possible solutions include
* only generate the URL when it is actually needed for display,
meaning self.url returns a function not a string.
* pass a "controller" variable along the instantiation of Auth().
