I am in the process of rewriting my site from 1.1 to 1.2 and trying to utilize the built in components whenever possible but I am unsure about the security component. In my first app I built my own functions to do this -- authenticate user, hash passwords, etc. Is that pretty much all the security component gives me? What are the benefits versus using my own functions? Is the security component required to use any other components? I guess my biggest hang up is how I salted and hashed my passwords versus how the security component seems to do it which is just slightly different. If I switch I am going to have to get users to recreate their passwords. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
