Or Try this

function login() {
    if ($this->Auth->user()) {
        if (!empty($this->data) && $this->data['User']['remember_me']) {
            $cookie = array();
            $cookie['username'] = $this->data['User']['username'];
            $cookie['password'] = $this->data['User']['password'];
            $this->Cookie->write('Auth.User', $cookie, true, COOKIE_EXPIRE);
            unset($this->data['User']['remember_me']);
        }

        $this->LogDetail->Write('activity','has logged IN');
        $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
    }

    if (empty($this->data)) {
        $cookie = $this->Cookie->read('Auth.User');
        if (!is_null($cookie)) {
            if ($this->Auth->login($cookie)) {
                $this->Session->destroy('Message.Auth'); # clear auth message, just in case we use it.
                $this->LogDetail->Write('activity','has been authenticated via cookie and is now logged IN');

                $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
            } else {
                $this->LogDetail->Write('activity','attempted to gain access with an invalid cookie');
                $this->Cookie->destroy('Auth.User'); # delete invalid cookie

                $this->Session->setFlash('Invalid cookie');
                $this->redirect('login');
            }
        }
    }
}
