Question

I have created a CustomAuthenticate class as follows and placed it under app/Controller/Component/Auth. I have a model ‘User’ and a corresponding ‘users’ table in the sqlite database. Though i didnt want the table ‘users’, it does not work otherwise. But now after hitting ‘login’ on the form. It errors out with the following trace

2012-10-10 00:57:59 Error: [CakeException] Authentication adapter "Custom" was not found.
#0 C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\application1\lib\Cake\Controller\Component\AuthComponent.php(630): AuthComponent->constructAuthenticate()

The AppController has the following in the component array.

public $components = array(
        'Session',          
        'Auth' => array(
            'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'ananlyze', 'action' => 'index'),
            'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login', 'home'),
            'authenticate' => array('Custom','Form')
        )
    );

Appreciate your help.

Have you called App::uses('CustomAuthenticate', 'Controller/Component/Auth'); in AppController?
