There's nothing really out of the ordinary going on here, it's basic Cake stuff.
Your ajax form should POST the data to /users/login. Then your controller action can look something like: public function login() { if ($this->Auth->login($this->data) { // set flash // set user data via $this->Auth->user() } else { // set flash } } You should probably have a json view for this so the Ajax function can interpret it.
