CakePHP 2:4 : Authcomponent not working - cakephp

Question

There I have two tables
1) aucusers
2) user_types
For use auth component I used bellow code in appcontroller
public $components = array('Session','RequestHandler','Paginator'=>array('limit'=>4),'Auth'=>array(
'loginAction' => array(
'controller' => 'aucusers',
'action' => 'login'
),
'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'aucusers','action' => 'add'),
'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'aucusers','action' => 'add'),
'authError'=>'You can not access this page!!',
));
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->set('logged_in', $this->Auth->loggedIn());
$this->set('current_user',$this->Auth->user());
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Paginator->settings = array(
'limit'=>4
);
In model for Hash password I have used
public function beforeSave($options = array()) {
if (isset($this->data[$this->alias]['password'])) {
$passwordHasher = new SimplePasswordHasher();
$this->data[$this->alias]['password'] = $passwordHasher->hash(
$this->data[$this->alias]['password']
);
}
return true;
}
In aucusers controller I have add
public function login() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid username or password, try again'));
}
}
public function logout() {
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
After add
$this->Auth->allow()
I have made a user.But when I am going to login, it showing me
Invalid username or password, try again.

As far as I know, you have to define which hashing method you are using.
From http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/authentication.html
public $components = array(
'Auth' => array(
'authenticate' => array(
'Form' => array(
'passwordHasher' => array(
'className' => 'Simple',
'hashType' => 'sha256'
)
)
)
)
);
