Re: ACL and/or Auth?

If your systems authentication consists of simply being logged in or
out, then ACL would definitely be overkill. Auth can be set up for
this in about 5 mins, and can be expanded upon if necessary. Don't
forget to take into account the possibility of the requirements
changing down the road though.

By default Cake starts a session for every visitor, and at a few
points in its core uses the session. Disabling the session will most
likely have a few unexpected side effects, like no flash messages or
automatic Auth redirecting.
