Hey guys, thanks for the responses. So it looks like i was doing everything correctly except one minor thing. I was using md5 to encrypt my passwords, however the Auth component does not default to md5, so i had to set it. Then i had to modify the Security.salt key to blank in order for authorization to be complete.
While i was having the issues, i was trying to look into the user details being sent to the login action, i was trying to see the password field, which kept coming up blank. Im not sure why i was seeing a blank password field in the data object, but $this- >data['User']['password'] was not showing any value. Anyways, authentication now works for me, and if anyone know if i was either using a wrong method to debug the issue, or another reason why password was blank it would be just nice to know. Thanks for all the help.
