So it's like the Ajax request just isn't submitting the cake session cookie? Install something that can show you the headers of your Ajax request to see if that is the case (FireBug for Firefox can do this, or Charles can for any browser). If your Ajax request is not submitting the session cookie, there is nothing you can do about it on the Cake side (other than making sure the Ajax request has the session cookie directly in the requested URL).
Is the Ajax request going to the same domain / subdomain as the main site? What Ajax library are you using?
