Hello I have been trying a number of security/login generators recently. My favourite so far is the Acts_as_authenticated. I like the fact that it is only billed as a starting point and doesn''t try to do everything. I would like to add security roles to it, so that some of my controller actions can only be used by an admin role. Has anybody implemented this using

Hi there I have several view specs, that include the following snippet in their "before" block to stub the methods by acts_as_authenticated before :each do @u = mock_model(User) @u.should_receive(:name).and_return("Hans Muster") template.should_receive(:logged_in?).and_return(true) template.should_receive(:current_user).and_return(@u) end this

Hi there, I''d like to know if there is a solution to the scenario when using acts_as_authenticated and ajax: I have an action in my controller which is protected by login via acts_as_authenticated. Now, this action can be called both by human interaction, as well as ajax requests. (It is an add to cart link). It works great as long as I am in an authenticated session. Now, I want to

Hi all. I''m trying to skip the Rails page cache if the user is logged in: --- # Rewrite index to check for static RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*logged_in=yes.*$ RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [QSA] # Rewrite to check for Rails cached page RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*logged_in=yes.*$ RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] # Redirect all non-static requests to cluster RewriteCond

I''ve got a polymorphic association on one table. I assign to it in the controller. This is handling invitations of users to tasks in a task management application. If the user issuing the invitation is the user being invited (ie the user assigned themselves to a task), I want to activate the invitation immediately in the model. The trouble is that this: if self.assignable ==

Hi there I''m having trouble getting the ''remember me'' functionality going in acts_as_authenticated. The issue seems to be that the login_from_cookie method is using only the first 60 characters of the remember_token string in the database, whereas the string in the db is 75 characters long.
