Actually, if you do not set $autoRedirect to false, you will never
reached the loginAction you defined.
If you want to be able to "cheat" the Auth and get the login method
handling empty($this->data), you have to set the the loginAction to
something else when in beforeFilter you detect the controller = 'User'
and action = 'login' ...
I did something like to "intercept" the loginAction and want to
control if in the User::login (callig Auth->login yourself):
.. in beforeFilter
if($this->action == 'login' && empty($this->data) && isset($this-
>Auth))
$this->Auth->loginAction = '/users/logout';
