how can i avoid this initial redirection??

i already given a route as below

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home'));

but no use
thankz in advance

Answer 1

In AppController::beforeFilter() add the following:

$this->Auth->allowedActions = array('display');

Answer 2

In your pages_controller.php (if you don't already have one in app/controllers, copy the one from cake/libs/controller:

function beforeFilter()
{
    parent::beforeFilter();
    $this->Auth->allow('*');
}

Answer 3

You could also just add this code to your users controller to stop it from automatically redirecting, but like everyone else said, you should also allow display.

function beforeFilter() {
    ...
    $this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
}
