authentication - CakePHP 2.3 Plugin doesn't seem to extend appcontroller -

i've created plugin called 'issuetracker', located in app/plugin/issuetracker. i've created controller called tickets , accessible @ www.example.com/issue_tracker/tickets/. but, logged in users rank 'admin'.

that wasn't hoping for, added in plugin/issuetracker/controller/ticketscontroller.php following:

public function beforefilter() { parent::beforefilter(); $this->auth->allow('index'); } 

i hoped piece of code (which i'm using in several other controllers in app/controller/ inherit appcontroller.php file. ticketscontroller.php file extends issuetrackerappcontroller (like this):

class ticketscontroller extends issuetrackerappcontroller {  //functions goes in here } 

and in plugin/controller folder i've created file issuetrackerappcontroller extends appcontroller.

in appcontroller.php file i've allready defined 'index' , 'view' public actions. but, reason, doesn't work in plugin.

is there i'm overseeing? when access www.example.com/issue_tracker/tickets not logged in user (guest), tells me need login. if i'm logged in user, not admin, auth component won't allow me in , presents login form.

there should way auth working in plugin, right?

edit

below appcontroller.php snippet i've configured auth:

public $components = array(         'auth' => array(             'loginaction' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login', 'plugin' => false),             'loginredirect' => array('plugin' => false, 'controller' => 'ervaringen', 'action' => 'add'),             'logoutredirect' => array('plugin' => false, 'controller' => 'ervaringen', 'action' => 'index'),             'authorize' => array('controller'),             'flash' => array(                 'element' => 'error',                 'key' => 'auth',                 'params' => array(                     'heading' => 'waarschuwing!')             ),             'autherror' => 'je moet inloggen om deze inhoud te bekijken.',         ),         'session',         'debugkit.toolbar'     );  

mystery solved.

after rescanning code in plugin, noticed 1 of coworkers on project used $variable = $this->requestaction(link/here/with/id/etc);, leads towards controller function. particular function wasn't allowed in way beforefilter(), causing 'function denied' bij auth system.

i've added particular function in $this->auth->allow('function'); in beforefilter() of plugin , working.
