Im still following the authorization recipe from the book, now all works fine but im getting trouble in how handle the model authorization result, if the user and pass are correct, it goes to a welcome screen(admin.rhtml) but if wrong the model prints a message in an ugly exception like page "usr and pass not correct", i want to redirect the user to the login

I have most of my books open as I''m trying to create this app. Still not sure how to make this work - hopefully some help / hints can get me further. First I used the "authorizing users" recipe from Rails Recipes. Though I did add some more generic type of registration fields (email, address, etc). I want the registration form on the main page(index) of the site. What I have

Hello all, Thank you in advance for your help with this. I am trying to implement the user authentication method from Ruby Recipes which calls for the use of SHA 2. Here is the code for the password: def password=(pass) salt = [Array.new(6){rand(256).chr}.join].pack("m").chomp self.password_salt, self.password_hash = salt, Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(pass + salt) end I open

wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? I''m not sure why I"m getting this error ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password + user.password_salt) != user.password_hash

using the Rails Recipes book, i went through the tutorial on setting up authentication on a site. the tutorial was great, but it raises a few questions. the fields in the database are password_hash, and password_salt. the tutorial creates another method for password that takes the value it was given and hashes it and adds the 6 character salt at the end. what if i want to perform validation

I''m getting this error message since i moved alot of the database logic to the model. wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password +

I''m in the process of creating a sign up form for an online application. The form collects account info, company info, and then info for an administrative user. The method looks like this: def create @account = Account.create!(params[:account]) @company = @account.companies.create!(params[:company]) @user = @company.users.create!(params[:user]) end However, this inevitably fails

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

I just got the rails recipes book and i couldnt be more happy, but inside the book there are some details, mostly typos but this one its one i cant fix, im following the Authorization recipe on page 128 i create the table and the model, the problem comes when i try to assign a password to a user in the console, here is the output: >> justin = User.create(:username =>

perhaps someone can take a little time to give me a better understanding of how to use form helpers. Here is what I''m working with in my app: user model - (the table where a user registers their information) it contains the following fields - first_name last_name email account_type (currently set to string but will probably be a select box with options) password_salt (I''m

Hi, The user/login management system in Chapter 31: Authenticating Your Users and Chapter 32: Authorizing Users with Roles of Chad Fowler''s Rails Recipes looks reasonable and adequate. However, when I ran the Chapter 31 code, I get the following error: Username or password invalid And I am not even given the chance to sign in; that is, the signin form does not appear at all. Has

I''ve implemented Rails Recipe #31, Authentication, and I found that validating password and password_confirmation just doesn’t work while the method ‘password=(pass)’ is in the mix, but I need that for the salt/hashing, no? If I don’t use validations, the password gets hashed, salted and stored in the database fine. I can login with same username/password. However, if I want to

I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank. If it is, crypt and check the password against the old md5 version and write it in the new crypted_password field. Here is my code add on before the logged_in?: def

Hi, I''m trying to write some integration tests for my app and am having some troubles getting past the initial login. Here is what my fixture looks like users.yml user_001: id: "7" login: testuser001, email: testuser001@example.com, state: 2, password: b78d41e7ccb8da412f4f66f754121667, password_salt: 78cKRniDIo, password_hash_type: md5 I took the password and

I followed the tutorial at http://sonjayatandon.com/05-2006/how-to-build-a-secured-web-application-with-ruby-on-rails/ and decided to add an email field. The problem is that the email is not being saved on the database and I end up with two email variables: @email and email. validates_presence_of

At the moment, I have a system with 4 different types of users - clients, administrators, sales_reps, and public_users. I''m using "Authorizing Users with Roles" from the Rails Recipes

Hello, I want decrypt a password which is encrypted by MD5. there are 4 functions which i am using : # Encrypts some data with the salt. def self.encrypt(password, salt) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{salt}--#{password}--") end # Encrypts the password with the user salt def encrypt(password) self.class.encrypt(password, salt) end def authenticated?(password)
