"Now, there are a few conventions to think about when using AuthComponent. By default, the AuthComponent expects you to have a table called 'users' with fields called 'username' and 'password' to be used." So if you insist on using a model other than users for logins you need to tell the auth component this: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1251/Setting-Auth-Component-Variables http://book.cakephp.org/view/1265/AuthComponent-Variables $this->Auth->userModel = 'Student'; However, I would recommend against this as I am sure if your app has students it will have teachers, or other types of users which would be better managed from a User model with those users having roles.
