Setting up initialization values to components, AuthComponent

Hello people!

I'm facing a problem with Auth component. I've a minor level of
security in my site, that is checked in the isAuthorized() method of
my AppController. I've there a simple switch that checks some options.

The thing is that i need to declare a beforeFilter() in every
controller and set inside that method the following statement
"$this->Auth->authorize = 'controller'" to get Auth to call
isAuthorized.

I was wondering if there's some way of made that call "application
wide". I mean, anyway to initialize the Auth component, where to do
it, to make that (authorize = controller) the default. I tryied to do
that in the method beforeFilter() of my AppController class, but it's
not working.

Altought i've found a way, that is to make this call on AppController
beforeFilter() method:
$this->Auth->isAuthorized('controller',$this);

It works, but don't think it's a good way to do this. I've seen in the
AuthComponent that there are some interesting methods that should be
useful: initialize() and startup()

Does anyone where to call them?

Thanks everybody!
