similar to: Beating the authentication horse (dead yet?)

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

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/.

Hi, Is there any documentation about this??? any guideline to be started with?? I''m googled a bit, but I can''t find anything relatively serius about this. Hope someone of you have a GURL (Good URL). Thanks :-)

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

OK I have dents in my head from beating on LoginGenerator, so if anyone who has used this thing can shed a little light I would greatly appreciate it. It is installed and I have set it up on my User class. Folks can login, logout, etc just fine. I have am not using the per method protection model yet, as I am trying to migrate slowly ;) What is broken though are all my methods that save or

Hey, Would you guys recommend just coding your own authentication and ACL system, or is it best just to use one of acts_as_authenticated, LoginGenerator and alike. There''s a good example in Rails Recipies and Agile Web Development with Rails 2nd Edition that I can base it on also. What would you suggest.... and why? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Sorry to do this .... AGAIN Every year or two I get stuck on this same problem involving excluding. Seems I learn how its done then 2yrs later I've totally forgotten and when I look up my notes ... this new need is just different enough that they don't apply. Here's the problem.

okay... i have two models employee - id - username order - id - number - created_by - approved_by now created_by and approved_by are both id''s of employees. in most cases, two different employees. currently i do something like //controller @open_orders = Order.open_orders //model def self.open_orders find(:all, :conditions => [''is_open = ?'', true],

Using samba 3.0.8 and Suse ES 9.0 I'm having problems getting roaming profiles/local profiles and logon scripts on a Win2k or WinXP workstation working correctly. My bdc is supposed to be doing the authentication against my PDC\LDAP server. Even when I enable Only allow local profiles on the XP machine it will logout a domain samba user with a sorry no roaming or local profile available

I am new to Ruby on Rails in general and apologize if this question is trivial and/or has been asked before ( my searches did not turn up any threads ). I am using the cookies function from actionpack which I have located in my vendor/rails/actionpack directory. Using: cookies[:username] and cookies[:password] from within a controller file works just fine, I am able to set and read

When rendering the following partial, the <script> block isn''t getting rendered at all. Does rails strip this out or is it some limitation of the browser? <% remote_options = { :update => update, :with => "Form.serialize(''#{form}'')", :url => { :action => "process_multiple" } } %> <% do_before ||= nil %> <% click_fn =

Hi fellas, I have setup the acts_as_authenticated plugin and activated the UserObserver to send activation emails. I also have a homemade security plugin which adds methods to ActiveRecord::Base like let_read and let_write. On the server start, those two enter in conflict because the Observer does something with the User model but it can''t find the let_read and the let_write

Hi I am happy to announce the 0.3.1 release of ActiveRBAC Engine. The biggest improvement on the 0.3 release is that it runs with Rails 1.1 now. Get your personal copy now from https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases :) There is a manual PDF with a tutorial available at https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases/ActiveRbacManual.pdf which is also included in the full

Guys, I have a relationship between model classes that I believe is best represented by inheritance, but the likelihood that things will change often is driving us to composition instead. So, I have a class called Autos, and subclasses called Suvs, Minis, Mids, Sports, for example. We have been requested to avoid the STI approach to this, because of fear of a quickly growing table with

Hi, I''m looking to create an online internet community for managing user profiles and other data.

How''s the experience with using ActiveRBAC? For my "next 4 days with rails" :P I''d like to consider adding Role-based access to the To-Do List application in the original "four days w/ rails" tutorial. Just wondering if ActiveRBAC would be a good place to start? Thanks! For those who are wondering: https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/trac Cheers Mohit.

Gents, I''m using the acts_as_taggable rails plugin (not gem), and would like to add some additional methods to it. For example, the find_tagged_with methods essentially does a find tag in a list (effectively an OR), while I''d like to implement a find_tagged_with_all method that would implement an AND (so if I specified 4 tags, it would only return items that were

Hi! What is the easiest way to restrict access to some part of the page? In php i just put .htaccess and .htpasswd files in /admin folder and it worked.
