hmm, I would advise you that instead of registering a user 'on the
fly', first showed him a registration form if his email does not exist
in the bd and then redirect him to wherever he were once logged in.
Anyway, for login you only must send to users controller a post data
in the conventional format
['UserModel'] => array(
'username' => 'your username', // field names depends on how you
configure the component
'password' => 'your password'
)
and the component will always set the session (if login was
succesfully)
another thing I don't get clear, your are asking how to save the
password via
Auth->login() in the Session or in th DB? in case you are asking about
the
Session, the password is never saved into it
