OK, after assistance from the group with setting up Auth, I'm not
trying to test if a user is logged in or not. Before testing this, the
behavior of the system is as follows.

1. The login form appears at the top of every page except the users/
login page.
2. If I attempt to login with incorrect credentials, the form takes me
to users/login with an error message.
3. If I login with valid credentials, the form forwards me to pages/
home..

Given the above, it appears the login is working, so the next step is
to figure out if the user is logged in or not, so I added the
following to AppController:


if ( $this->Auth->user() ) {
  $this->set( 'loggedin', 'the user is logged in' );
} else {
  $this->set( 'loggedin', 'the user is not logged in' );
}

Then in the default.ctp file, just above the login form, I placed the
following:

echo  $loggedin;

No matter whether I use valid or invalid credentials, this always come
back, "the user is not logged in".`

Where is my mistake?

Thanks,
Chuck
