Answer 1

Use the AppController and UsersController to set it up

In AppController beforeFilter action

$referer = Router::url($this->url, true);
$this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'login','?'=>['referer'=>$referer]);

In UsersController login action

if($this->Auth->login())
{
 $this->Session->setFlash(__('Logged in successfully !'));
$redirect = $this->request->query('referer');
if(!empty($redirect))
 {
   return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl($redirect));
 }else{
    return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());                 
 }
}
