Re: Auth->deny problem

The deny function makes Cake require the user to log in. If you
deleted all cookies and tried to access you should be redirected to
your login page.

AuthComponent actually does two different kinds of "auth":
authentication (checking the user is who she says she is) and
authorization (checking the user is allowed to do what she's trying to
do). The allow and deny functions are from the bit that does
authentication, the "authorize" variable is from the authorization
part.
