You should move $this->Auth->allow into the specific controller for
that action, I think.
For example, in the users controller for the login and logout actions.
So that means that wherever you have set your / route in routes.php
should have its own Auth->allow line to allow the action.

Does that make sense or have I confused it?

Don't forget to call parent::beforeFilter(); in the beforeFilter
function in your controller so that the appController one still gets
called.
