Re: New to CakepHp.. question

This is a very very very bad design decision. User data != internal
system data. Use another column for your "serial", and leave User.id
to cake.

BUT, if you really have to use it as a primary key, you could try
leaving it named serial_number or whatever and customizing your model
to use that field as primary key, but I'm not sure how this will work.
