Hi everyone.

I have been experimenting with a couple larger frameworks but haven't
found anything that makes my requirement easier so far. I have heard a
lot of good things about cakePHP and would love know if it will help
ease my website creation.

I greatly appreciate any feedback.

- Authenticate against Windows Active Directory.

When log in, I will use php-ldap to do simple bind. Upon success, user
ldap search to get memberOf attribute and do a little comparison to
determine the user's group. That's pretty much all the active
directory stuff I need. Everything else will be stored in MySQL.

Here's my first concern. Some of the frameworks I tried forced me to
have a password column for the user in SQL tables too. Will cakePHP
force me to do so? I want to leave the password entirely to the active
directory, users are not even allowed to change it through the
website.

- Log in, log out, cookies.

- Upload and file operation.

I need to be able to control exactly where the upload files are going,
and what it will be named. Also, I need to exec command line to call
other programs to do conversion/compression on those files. Will
cakePHP be able to assist me with such task?

- JSON/XML generator.

My website will use small little AJAX all over the place. Is cakePHP
good with generating bits and pieces of JSON/XML?

Thank you very much!
