my code in logout method is

    function logout() {
    $this->Session->setFlash('Good-Bye');
    $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}

and login code is :

Its problem of you redirect thing you logout ..Add below code in your App_controller.php beforeFilter

$this->Auth->loginError = "Wrong credentials. Please provide a valid username and password.";

            $this->Auth->authError = "You don't have sufficient privilege to access this resource.";

            $this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');

            $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login');

            $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'home');

In you r logout

 $this->Session->setFlash('You Succefully Logged Out');
         $this->Auth->logout(); 
         $this->redirect('/');  

in your login try this

if($this->Auth->user('id')){
     $this->Session->setFlash('You are logged in!');
      $this->redirect('/', null, false);
}

hope this may help you….
