Help! Auth Component in Lib directory

Hi all, I'm struggling getting this code working, wondering if anyone had any insights

I've written an application that has a lot of web services, It used Zend to create a server and loads classes from my lib folder

So my structure is like this:

app/Controller/WebServicesController.php

app/Lib/WebServices/SomeService.php

The controller loads the requested service and passes it as an argument to the Zend SOAP server code. It works fine, except where I need the response from the Auth Component.

I want a partner site to be able to validate a username/password as part of a unified login. So if a user tries logging in to site X, that site will call my web service with the username and password and return the result of Auth:identify.

This is the relevant code in my SomeService.php file, I've attempted to initialize the Auth Component as I do in the standard login procedure, but it ALWAYS returns false, even if the credentials are correct:

function check_credentials($username, $password) {

    $userObj = new CakeRequest();

    $userObj->data['User'] = array('username'=>$username, 'password'=>$password);

    $resp = new CakeResponse();

    App::import('Component', 'Auth');

    $Auth = new AuthComponent(new ComponentCollection());

    $Auth::initialize();

    $Auth->authenticate = array(

                                'all' => array('userModel' => 'User'),

                                );

    $result = $Auth->identify($userArr,$resp);

    return $result;

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
