Cakephp Auth Component Does Not Work Properly

Question

I am making a user registration screen. When the user completes the registration, it is redirected to a restricted area. On this same screen, there is a login and password field for them to log in. However, the only thing that works is the registration, but even so, is not redirecting to the restricted area. My codes are like this:

Appcontroller:

class AppController extends Controller {

public $components = array('Auth');

function beforeFilter() {
    $this->Auth->fields = array(
        'username' => 'username',
        'password' => 'password'
    );

    $this->Auth->loginAction = array(
        'controller' => 'users',
        'action' => 'login'
    );
    $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array(
        'controller' => 'profiles',
        'action' => 'index'
    );
    $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/';

    $this->Auth->authError = 'Area Restrita! Efetue login!'; // Mensagem ao entrar em area restrita
    $this->Auth->loginError = 'Nome de usuario ou senha não conferem!'; // Mensagem quando não se autenticar
    $this->Auth->allow('pages', 'display');

}

}

Userscontroller:

class UsersController extends AppController {

public function register() {
    $this->loadModel('User');
    //$this->autoRender = FALSE;
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
        $day = $this->request->data['day'];
        $mouth = $this->request->data['mouth'];
        $year = $this->request->data['year'];
        $birth = $year . "-" . $mouth . "-" . $day;
        $date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

        if ($this->User->save(array(
                    'name' => $this->request->data['name'],
                    'username' => $this->request->data['email1'],
                    'password' => $this->request->data['pass'],
                    'birthday' => $birth,
                    'sex' => $this->request->data['sex'],
                    'date_sign' => $date
                ))) {
            $this->Auth->loginRedirect(array('controller' => 'profiles', 'action' => 'index'));              
        }
    }
}

public function login() {
    //$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());   
    if ($this->Auth->login()) {
        $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
    } else {
        $this->Session->setFlash(__('Usuário ou senha inválido'));
    }
}

function logout() {
    $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}

}

User (Model):

App::uses('AuthComponent', 'Controller/Component');

class User extends AppModel {

public function beforeSave($options = array()) {
    if (isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
        $this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = AuthComponent::password($this->data[$this->alias]['password']);
    }
    return true;
}

}

And in the layout default.ctp, the form that makes the registration I am pointing to "users/Register" and the form for the login, I point to "users/login"

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

Try it like this:

if ($this->User->save(array(
                'name' => $this->request->data['name'],
                'username' => $this->request->data['email1'],
                'password' => $this->request->data['pass'],
                'birthday' => $birth,
                'sex' => $this->request->data['sex'],
                'date_sign' => $date
            ))) {
        $this->Session->setFlash('O usuários foi salvo.');
        $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'profiles', 'action' => 'index'));              
    } else {
        $this->Session->setFlash('Erro no cadastro.');
}

For controller redirects always use $this->redirect().

Function Login in Userscontroller:

public function login() {
//Verifica o tipo de requisição.
if ($this->request->is('post')) {  
    if ($this->Auth->login()) {
        $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
    } else {
        $this->Session->setFlash(__('Usuário ou senha inválido'));
    }
}

}
