beforeSave("hashPassword"); public any function authenticate(required string email, required string string password) { # ... authentication logic ... }

In Sessions controller:

function create() { var user = model("User").authenticate(email=params.email, password=params.password); if (isObject(user)) { session.userId = user.id; redirectTo(controller="home"); } }
