However in my app I have two places where people can login, one is for in my case "employees" the other is for "users". They are seperate tables in my database and have many different fields. I have an admin area located at ./sysadmin/ where only "employees" can login, they

there is a blog about it http://www.realityforge.org/articles/2005/11/12/aaa_in_rails There are so many Authentication/Authorization/Auditing generators now, just like the situation in java''s world, Too many components doing the samething just make me confusion. Why not add one to rails core lib and everybody can extend it for their requirement ? -- Posted via

Guys, I''m frankly overwhelmed by the number of Rails authentication options(?) out there...from ActiveRBAC to acts_as_authenticated to LoginEngine and so on...so many options, yet on resource I''ve found really distinguishes between each. This is sad, as authentication and user management is really an area where some Rails simplicity pixie dust could be a real boon to

I am a the point now where I have to add user authentification to my application. Anyone can point me toward an easy to use / secure library? I know about ActiveRBAC and was wondering if there is anything else that I should consider. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Last week when I was digging for user-account sample code for my web-app, I instead found the LoginGenerator and started using that: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/LoginGenerator Is one of these preferred over the other? From skimming the API docs, it does seem that LoginEngine has more features,

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

I am using the LoginGeneratorACLSystem along with the LoginGenerator.

Is there a way to authenticate with an IP address? I''m using the LoginGenerator, but would like to bypass the "before_filter :login_required " if a user is in a correct IP range... Anyone know of a solution? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was looking through the loginGenerator code and noticed the following: Login: User.authenticate(@params[:user_login], @params[:user_password]) Signup User.authenticate(@user.login, @params[:user][:password]) The syntax of the call in the signup code confused me...what exactly does @params[:user][:password] this return to me? Is the params structure a multi-dimensional array? I would have
