Checking the great CakePHP book combined with some common sense solves most of these basic issues. Go there and scroll down to sessions.

In short: Open APP/Config/core.php and scroll down to the session configuration, for me its around line 190 and add the timeout to the session configuration. Read the book page I've linked, there more settings you might want to read about.

Configure::write('Session', array(
    'defaults' => 'php',
    'timeout' => 300
));
