similar to: Catch authentication result from a model in a controller

Hi, The user/login management system in Chapter 31: Authenticating Your Users and Chapter 32: Authorizing Users with Roles of Chad Fowler''s Rails Recipes looks reasonable and adequate. However, when I ran the Chapter 31 code, I get the following error: Username or password invalid And I am not even given the chance to sign in; that is, the signin form does not appear at all. Has

Hello all, Thank you in advance for your help with this. I am trying to implement the user authentication method from Ruby Recipes which calls for the use of SHA 2. Here is the code for the password: def password=(pass) salt = [Array.new(6){rand(256).chr}.join].pack("m").chomp self.password_salt, self.password_hash = salt, Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(pass + salt) end I open

Hi there, I''m having a bit of an issue with my before_filter. I know that the filters put in the application.rb controller are global for all the controllers. In my application filter I''d like to allow access to the RSS feed method in a ''member'' controller and skip the login checks that the before_filters are currently performing. In my application my filters

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

Folks, My understanding of how filters work is that I should return true if everything is ok and false if not. How does the filter below work then (from the Rails Recipies book)? It would return nil if there''s a user in the session. Does nil count as true? before_filter :check_authentication def check_authentication unless session[:user] session[:intended_action] =

Hi, Does anyone have the formula for getting logged into LinkedIn? Here''s my current attempt: require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new home_page = agent.get(''http://www.linkedin.com'') signin_page = agent.click home_page.links.text(''Sign in'') puts "\nSIGNIN PAGE"

sorry, because it seems that I need more explanation on this Rails Recipes authorization - I finally got the code working but after using the login I get this back from Rails- Routing Error No url can be generated for the hash {} I''m guessing it''s coming from the redirect- def login if request.post? session[:user] = User.authenticate(params[:first_name],

wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? I''m not sure why I"m getting this error ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password + user.password_salt) != user.password_hash

I''m getting this error message since i moved alot of the database logic to the model. wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password +

I created a simple registration form. One column doesn''t seem to be taking the input. I''ve yet to put in any validation or error checking. The column in the database is called ''level'' and is type ''int'' The controller method is fairly simple: def register c = User.new(params[:user]) c.save redirect_to :controller =>

I''ve got these two lines set up in my controller before_filter :check_authentication before_filter :check_max_hands, :only => [ :play ] Here''s the corresponding code for each def check_authentication unless session[:user] and authorize?(session[:user]) session[:intended_action] = request.request_uri redirect_to :controller => ''user'',

I''m in the process of creating a sign up form for an online application. The form collects account info, company info, and then info for an administrative user. The method looks like this: def create @account = Account.create!(params[:account]) @company = @account.companies.create!(params[:company]) @user = @company.users.create!(params[:user]) end However, this inevitably fails

using the Rails Recipes book, i went through the tutorial on setting up authentication on a site. the tutorial was great, but it raises a few questions. the fields in the database are password_hash, and password_salt. the tutorial creates another method for password that takes the value it was given and hashes it and adds the 6 character salt at the end. what if i want to perform validation

I have most of my books open as I''m trying to create this app. Still not sure how to make this work - hopefully some help / hints can get me further. First I used the "authorizing users" recipe from Rails Recipes. Though I did add some more generic type of registration fields (email, address, etc). I want the registration form on the main page(index) of the site. What I have

I just got the rails recipes book and i couldnt be more happy, but inside the book there are some details, mostly typos but this one its one i cant fix, im following the Authorization recipe on page 128 i create the table and the model, the problem comes when i try to assign a password to a user in the console, here is the output: >> justin = User.create(:username =>

Ticket #3082 details a fix to add a body to redirect pages. This seems like an old patch, but only now is it biting me. I have an authentication scheme like this: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_filter :check_authentication, :except => [:signin] def check_authentication return true if session[:user] session[:return_to] = request.request_uri if

I recently ran a migration to add the following to an existing user model: t.string "crypted_password" t.string "password_salt" t.string "persistence_token" There is an existing (cleartext) password field, but authlogic doesn''t seem to be reading that on existing accounts. As a result, all logins for existing accounts fail. How can I get
