CakePHP: using a different users table - cakephp

Question

After setting up the simple Cakephp login concept I would like to let CakePHP use a different table to check the users and the login. I can't figure out how to change the table name within the Auth-component.
Below my basic Controller. How can I let Cakephp know it has to look into a different database table?
class AppController extends Controller {
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth'=>array(
'loginRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'index'),
'logoutRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'index'),
'authError'=>"You can't access that page",
'authorize'=>array('Controller')
)
);
public function isAuthorized($user) {
return true;
}
public function beforeFilter() {
//$this->Auth->allow('index', 'view');
$this->set('siteCategory', 'home');
$this->set('logged_in', $this->Auth->loggedIn());
$this->set('current_user', $this->Auth->user());
}
}

Best Solution:
This is something that's done in the User model with the useTable property.
I.e. in app/Model/User.php you should have something like this:
class User extends AppModel {
public $useTable = 'table_name';
//... rest of Model stuff here
}
Alternative:
Alternatively you can specify a different model to be used for the user, although I don't think that's what you're asking for. If I'm wrong there though, just set the userModel value like this:
public $components = array(
'Auth'=>array(
'authenticate'=>array(
'Form' => array('userModel' => 'ADifferentUserModel')
)));
