Re: odd results from auth redirect

Should the AuthComponent properties and options be declared in the targeted controller (UsersController in my case) or the AppController?
Or should it make no difference?
I have Auth configured in my AppController and the settings _seem_ to be ignored no matter how I alter them.

Also, I notice that the beforeSave function in the User model was defined differently in the ACL tutorial and Auth tutorial.
Which one is the prefered method?

Thanx again, McS

        $this->data['User']['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data['User']['password']);
        return true;
    } // end beforeSave($options = array()) from acl tutorial

    public function beforeSave($options = array()) { // from auth tutorial
        if (isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
            $this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data[$this->alias]['password']);
        }
            return true;
    } // end beforeSave($options = array()) from auth tutorial

Been following the acl and auth tutorials and appear to be near working except for AuthComponent loginRedirect and logoutRedirect properties. Very bare-bones setup as listed below.

Watching the DebugKit.Toolbar output I note the following:
1) on the users/login page Session > Auth > redirect is /pages/home, no user defined
2) form accepts username and password provided and redirects to /pages/home, Session > Auth > user and activeUser are defined correctly
3) also clicking the users/logout link on that page redirects to /users/login page with same conditions as 1)

But I expected my setup below to assign the loginRedirect to /lots/index and logoutRedirect to /pages/home? What did I miss?
