I''ve installed acts_as_authenticated and have that working like a charm and now would like to add the acl_system2 plugin so I can do some role based authorization stuff. I went ahead and installed the plugin like this: >ruby script\plugin source http://opensvn.csie.org/ezra/rails/plugins/dev/acl_system2 Then I installed the lib and test >ruby script\plugin install lib >ruby script\plugin install te...

Hello, I''m trying to spec a Rails application using the couple restful_authentication/acl_system2 plugins. In my admin layout, I put the following code : <% restrict_to "admin" do -%> <ul id="admin-tabs"> <li> /users Users management </li> </ul> <% end -%> Then in my spec file ''spec/views/layout/admin.rhtml_spec.rb''...

Hi all, I am using the LoginGenerator and Ezra''s acl_system2 to protect certain actions in my controllers. I have written some functional tests to check for correct handling of redirects, flashes, etc. The flashes however only get populated on the first get action in any given test. Here is what I have so far: In the controller: class PageControlle...

Don''t know if anyone else has experienced this but I''m having a problem with the access_denied method in Ezra''s ACL access control plugin. It''s working fine (in conjunction with acts_as_authenticated) until it comes across a user it denies access to, in which case it throws the following error: NoMethodError in Admin#index protected method

...to configure this ''data based security'' ? A simple way which causes the model to restrict the records it throws out in all cases to an appropriate subset? I looked at security frameworks like acts_as_authenticated (which handles only authentication and hence not relevant), and acl_system2 (which is RBAC, and not neccessarily data based).

I''ve been googling around trying to find some tips on creating tests for plugins. Am I correct in assuming that I''d have to have the tests as part of a rails app in order to test the plugin? I''d like to find a way to do standalone tests for the plugin. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

...d this works for views / helpers like this: it "should show bla" do render "/layouts/thetool" response.should have_tag("p", "bla") end and the view (haml to make things more interesting) - if logged_in? %p bla Now I also use Ezra acl_system2 plugin which defines a "restrict_to" method that queries some roles. When I stub the methods above and run specs, I get the following error: ActionView::TemplateError in ''/users/show should display the information of the user'' undefined local variable or method `c...

We are running Apache and Mongrel on RHEL4 and have been experiencing some interesting behaivor. Sometimes when someone logs into our application (it uses the acts_as_authencticaed and acl_system2) the following happens. Instead of the browser rendering the html and displaying all the form elements corretly as you would expect, it simple spews back the output without attempting to render. So you get something like this: HTTP/1.1 0 Content-Length: 7636 Connection: close Date: Sat, 02 Sep...

Hey all, In my app users can create groups and the group creator can "kick" or "ban" users. I want the creator to be able to grant other members of the group to kick and ban. This is how I want to do it: I''m usgin acl_system2 and the creator can grant kick and ban permissions to group members by creating roles "kick_group_id" or "ban_group_id" for those users and then in the view I do: <% restrict_to "(creator | kick_#{@group.id}) do %> <%= link_to "kick this user out of the grou...

Hi folks, I''ve got an older project I''ve used LoginGenerator for. It works pretty well, but lacks password resetting, etc. Now I''ve got a new project for a client that''s going to need login capabilities as well. I''ve been looking at the Salted Login Generator and the Login Engine, and have taken quick stabs at running through the installation

Hi all, I''m using acts_as_authenticated for the front end facing part of my site. I have a model called Customer. I now want to protect the admin sides of things. I am thinking of using Ezra''s acl plugin (http://opensvn.csie.org/ezra/rails/plugins/dev/acl_system2/README) for this. My only problem is that I don''t want the model for admin users to be called Customer, I''d rather it be called User or something (call me pedantic :) So, I could rename my Customer model to User and implement the above plugin which will give me the authorization...

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user. The user has a habtm relationship to a roles model (acl_system2 plugin), but I''m not sure how to tell rspec about a model. My code: describe UsersController do integrate_views before(:each) do @user = mock_model(User) @user.stub!(:new_record?).and_return(false) @user.stub!(:id).and_return(666) @user.stub!(:email).and_return(&quot...
