I am evaluating the Yahoo Browser Based Authentication Rails plugin for use in my web app. It looks like a good idea to make the signup process easier by using this plugin. I see the following advantages for using it: 1. Less code ;-) 2. I don''t have to struggle with Acts As Authenticated or RESTful Authentication plugins to get this functionality. 3. I can safely assume most of my customers already have an Yahoo account. I don''t know what information will be made available after the signup process. Has anyone used it? Is it like Single Sign On? Does Google have something similar? TIA. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: Rails Authentication Choices
3. I can safely assume most of my customers already have an Yahoo account. If your target market is Yahoo employees, then I would say you can assume that. I wouldn''t sign up if I had to have a Yahoo account... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Agreed, I don''t have a yahoo account and I would be less likely to sign up if thats what it required. You could easily roll your own authentication system very easily with a simple before_filter in your application controller. & a registration system is very simple once you setup your validations. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

200 million Yahoo users!!! Very tempting. Ok, I am getting my hands dirty with the RESTful authentication plugin. Let''s see how it goes. Thnx.

Anyways, I got the RESTful authentication working and I have blogged the instructions here http://bparanj.blogspot.com/ It''s better not to have any dependency on Yahoo. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
