Pre-configured CakePHP with common things like authentication

Question

Has anyone come across a CakePHP system with pre-configured things like authentication with all the login/logout forms, etc? Most websites have some sort of a basic authentication system on top of which everything is built. I was hoping to not go about re-inventing the wheel setting up the most common pages like login, logout, forgot-password. Any help?

CakePHP Cookbook is a good place to start. There is a sample aplication with the authentication stuff done:
