User management, authentication and acl plugin for CakePHP?

acl, authentication, cakephp, php

Solution

I haven't yet found a plugin that I've been completely satisfied with. I've been using the SimpleAclComponent and SimpleAuthComponent (that are based on A lightweight approach to ACL - The 33 lines of Magic) to build a custom solution.

Problem

I am pretty new to CakePHP, having been using rails for a little while. My question is, can anyone recommend a good user management, authentication and acl plugin or component for Cake? I have come across this one, but it has not been updated since 2008. If not can anyone recommend a good book/tutorial site for this kind of set up? I am more than happy to sit down and write this kind of thing myself, but would rather use a tested community plug-in. Cheers
