Normally, AuthComponent doesn't require that a login() method be
available. But, if you want to do some routine at login, you then
create the method in your UsersController.

AppController:

public function beforeFilter()
{
parent::beforeFilter();

$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;

// other stuff
}

This tells Auth to run your login() method.

UsersController:

function beforeFilter()
{
parent::beforeFilter();

/* Do NOT add login here
*/
$this->Auth->allowedActions = array('logout', 'other_action');
}

public function login()
{
if ($user = $this->Auth->user())
{
/* Auth::user() takes any field name from users table
* and returns the value for the current User.
* If you don't pass any param you get the full record array.
*/
$this->User->id = $user['User']['id'];
$this->User->saveField('loginStatus', 1);

$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
}

public function logout()
{
if ($user = $this->Auth->user())
{
$this->User->id = $user['User']['id'];
$this->User->saveField('loginStatus', 0);
$redirect = $this->Auth->logout();
$this->redirect($redirect);
}
$this->redirect('/');
}

Works for me.
