I want to write a filter class that verify the credentials and redirect to login if necessary. However it seems like I can''t access redirect_to method from the controller (without doing reflection, i.e.) is there example on how to get this working? I think filter class is a lot better than embedded class method. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Uh, no you can''t do something like that. Calling a method from within that module would be fine, however. Define AuthenticationFilter as a module in lib/authentication_filter.rb instead of as a class and then in your application.rb in app/controllers say include AuthenticationFilter. And then you can call all the methods you''ve defined in your AuthenticationFilter in your before_filter. As for specifying parameters, you may be able to access params from inside the method.

U cannot do a redirect inside a filter. It returns true or false depending whether the request passed the filter condion or not. U could throw an app specific exception and handle it in ur action. This is a guess.

Of course you can redirect from inside a filter! my acts_as_authenticated has a method called login_redirect which calls access_denied, another method in the AuthenticatedSystem module, which will redirect someone to the login screen if they''re not logged in. You don''t even have to puts a return false in there. -- Ryan Bigg http://www.frozenplague.net Feel free to add me to MSN and/or GTalk as this email. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ryan u might have mixed up something, I mean a filter class, I am very sure a routine within the controller tree, either inherited above or within, would work.

@goodwill
In your case,
class AuthenticationFilter
self.filter(controller)
#redirection if authentication failed
end
end
you have the instance of the controller right there. Use that... but use
.send instead as redirect_to is protected.
controller.send :redirect_to, {:action=>"foo",
:controller=>"bar"}
Now, I don''t quite know if named routes will work as I have not tested
it. I
would imagine though that they are accessible via controller.send as they
are also protected.
It was mentioned before, but restful_authentication or acts_as_authenticated
are well-tested auth systems. I suppose there''s a reason
you''re not using
them though, which is fine.
You might find this interesting -
http://rubycas-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rubycas-client/lib/
It''s a plugin for the CAS single-sign-on system. It does authentication
with
a third-party and does redirects, etc. It''s a bit complex but it may
give
you some ideas.
Good luck!
