similar to: Role Based Authorization recipe implementation?

Im still following the authorization recipe from the book, now all works fine but im getting trouble in how handle the model authorization result, if the user and pass are correct, it goes to a welcome screen(admin.rhtml) but if wrong the model prints a message in an ugly exception like page "usr and pass not correct", i want to redirect the user to the login

I am using the the authorization recipe outlined in Rails Recipes.Is it possible for one role, say ''admin'', to have access to every action on every controller without explicitly having to create a Right for each? I know this will not work as is, and to force it to do so would violate MVC, but is there some other way to accomplish having something like this in a controller:

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 want to create table called roles and then populate it with some new records...This doesn''t work. Is there something I''m missing? Craig class AddRightsAndRolesTables < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :roles do |t| t.column "name", :string end Role.reset_column_information Role.new :name => "Users Admin"

Thank you in advance for your help. I am relatively new to both Rails and Rspec and I am hoping for some insight from some experienced veterans. Right now I am using Rspec for code that has already been written so that additional functionality can be developed using the BDD method. My problem shows up when I try to spec controllers that are behind the login system. Each page checks for the

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

I''ve been bringing up a good basica framework for applications at work. To give decent security I''ve been implementing the Rails Recipie for Authorization of function calls modeled on the book''s implementation. (Changes for our environment were added..but are minor.) Since I initially let Rails create the join table between two data tables with a HABTM relationship....I

Hi! I want to add a function with a static paramter ("2" in the example) to a filter, but somehow Rails seems to be looking for another syntax. before_filter :check_quantity(2), :only => [:show] doesn''t work. What''s the right way to do this? Thanks a lot! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m a little perplexed why this isn''t working: private def check_authorization user = User.find(session[:user]) if user.level == 100 flash[:notice] = "welcome, admin" else flash[:notice] = "ha ha" redirect_to :controller

Hi all, Currently I''m having to do this: def self.authorized_roles(controller, action) specific = self.find_by_controller_and_action(controller, action) all_actions = self.find_by_controller_and_action(controller, ''*'') all_controllers = self.find_by_controller(''*'') role_ids = [] specific.each do |role_item| role_ids <<

I''m lost on regular expressions to begin with... I''m trying to fix a value to one of 4 radio buttons as there will be value of either 1,2,3 or 4 in @roles_users... <TD><input type="radio" id="roles" name="case_managers[case_manager_name]" value="Case Manager Admin" <% if =~ @roles_users /1/ checked =

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

This is pretty simple, but I must be missing the obvious. I''ve got a table that''s similar to this: USERS: - id int - username varchar(64) - password varchar(64) - role_id int ROLES: - id int - description varchar(16) I''ve had no troubles doing has_many relationships at all. But I want to map the user.role directly to the role model automatically (which sounds

Hello All, I am new to ROR, and can''t seem to get HABTM to cooperate entirely... however I might be abusing it! Before I try a different strategy I thought I''d ask here and see if I''m missing something simple. So say Projects and Companies are related. Projects can have multiple Companies, and Companies can be on multiple Projects. But, the same Company can also

Hey, Is is possible to get the full URL (''http://www.sender-domain.com/links/list.html'') from where a user was sent to my site (www.my-domain.com/controller/action) e.g. by clicking on a link?

Hi. I would like to set @request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] in an integration test, but due to its nature, I would naturally set this value to the previousle request url. How do I do that. Thanks. Jarl

I have been struggling for quite sometime with this. Is there any way to configure the Model to store user defined value in the inheritance_column instead of the default value (which is class_name) The problem I have is like this: I have a User model and there are different models which inherit from this like Admin, Premium, Professional, etc. Each of these inherited models are identified by a

I have this page that you login in from. You get authenticated and then bumped over to the appropriate page depending on what your role is: Traveler, Travel Manager, Admin. All pieced work except for the role asssociated with Travel Managers who get tossed out, apprarently when they hit a before_filter to check authenication. However, it seams that they are properly getting authenticated and moved

Howdy, I''m using Apache 2.2 + Mongrel with great success, using the sample configs from the Mongrel site. We have some MP3s on the site and recently someone has been stealing them and basically leaching them from the site, linking to them from an off-site location. I''ve been trying to modify my Apache conf to check the referrer and adjust accordingly as below but no

Hello I have a rails 3 app and I am trying to implement the redirect back action at access denied for cancan. If I try this in my application_controller: rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception| redirect_to :back end It gives the following error: No HTTP_REFERER was set in the request to this action, so redirect_to :back could not be called successfully. If this is a test, make sure
