Try This

Your config/routes.php

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'dashboard' ));

Appcontroller

class AppController extends Controller {

public $components = array(
    'Acl',
    'Session',
    'Auth' => array(
        'authenticate' => array(
            'Form' => array( 
                'userModel' => 'User',
                 'fields' => array(
                    'username' => 'user_name',
                    'password' => 'password'
                    )
                )
            ),
        'loginAction' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'),
                    'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'mysettings'),
        'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'),
        'authError' => 'You don\'t have access here.',
                /*
                'loginAction' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'forgot_password'),
                'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'dashboard'),
                'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'forgot_password'),
                'authError' => 'You don\'t have access here.',
                */
        ),

);

Usercontroller

class UsersController extends AppController {

/**
 * Components
 *
 * @var array
 */ 
public function beforeFilter() {
    parent::beforeFilter();
    $this->Auth->allow('login','logout');
}

}
