Application will not authenticate [sends alert of invalid credentials].
Using user credentials created via rake db:seed. How do I get it to
authenticate?
Agent Model
----------------
def Agent.authenticate(name,password)
if agent = find_by_name(name)
if agent.hash == encrypt_password(password,agent.salt)
agent
end
end
end
SessionController
----------------------
def create
if agent = Agent.authenticate(params[:name],params[:password])
session[:agent_id] = agent.id
redirect_to base_url
else
redirect_to login_url,:alert=>"Invalid credentials"
end
end

I''d wager that that methods returns something you don''t expect, because hash is a method all ruby objects have - I suspect that you''re calling that method rather than the one that would return the value of your hash column. You can get at the attribute value via read_attribute, although I''d recommend avoiding dangerous names like that.
