Re: Auth->authenticate in beforeFilter causes Auth issues

I understand that you are using MD5 instead of SHA1 in your user
model!

If that is the final decision, then why don't you just tell CakePHP to
use MD5 as default and as shown in the example at:

http://book.cakephp.org/view/566/Change-Hash-Function

Maybe that would help you!
Enjoy,
John
