Just wanted to get some opinions and we''re about to implement a REST based API. We want to implement a basic API similar to Highrise or the new API released by Wasabi. Is there a benefit to using a long random API key over say just the username/password a given user would already have? Also are there any other auth systems you guys would recommend that might be better or more efficient? We''re using the restful_authentication plugin. Thanks for any tips. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
