In a view, use $session->read('Auth.User.some_field'), eg.
$session->read('Auth.User.last_name'). Put this in one of your views:
debug($session->read('Auth.User'))
If Auth's $userModel is something other than 'User' replace with that
model name instead.

If you are not redirected properly and you see an error msg then login
was unsuccessful.

In AppController::beforeFilter()
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array(
'controller' => 'public_static',
'action' => 'display',
'home'
);
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
The last line tells Auth not to redirect the user immediately. Add a
login() method to UsersController:
public function login()
{
if (!empty($this->data) && $user = $this->Auth->user())
{
$last_login = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$this->User->id = $user['User']['id'];
$this->User->saveField('last_login', $last_login);
$this->Session->write('Auth.User.last_login', $last_login);
$this->redirect($this->Auth->loginRedirect);
}
}
