Subclassing the adapter isn't necessary. You should be able to do this instead:
if (Zend_Auth::getInstance()->hasIdentity()) { $role = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity()->role; }
See these two tutorials on auth & acls respectively. I found them far more helpful than the one on the zend devzone.

Suppose "role" is a column from your user table. If you do something like this, you will have $user->role available to you. (This is substantially stolen from the docs). HTH.
function authenticate($username,$password) {
$db = Zend_Registry::get('db');

$authAdapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable($db, $config->tablename, $config->usercol, 'password');

->setCredential($password)
->authenticate();
$this->result = $result;

$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
$user = $authAdapter->getResultRowObject(null,'password');
$auth->getStorage()->write($user);
$view->user = $user; // so we can easily say "welcome Joe User"
Zend_Session::regenerateId();

} else {
// authentication failed. let the caller deal with it by calling our getResult();
return false;
}

David, that did help a lot, and I think this will help me solve this, so thanks. I can now add a method to my adapter that will return the user's data in an array, and then when logging in, do an $auth->getStorage()->write($role); . This will probably solve it, but I was wondering whether there was a more elegant way, i.e. to automatically make AuthAdapter store this when I call $auth->authenticate($authAdapter);
Again, thanks a lot, I was really getting desperate!

After having read some more, I am now thinking of subclassing Zend_Auth_Result to make it include the user's role. I'm not quite sure whether this would be the best way to go about though, so I'd like to ask for some feedback on whether you guys think this to be a good idea.
