similar to: Rails and user authentification

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

Hi, I just finished writing this plug-in. I''ve been using rails for awhile but this is my first time extracting some code and writing it as a plug-in and I''d love to hear to some feedback.

Hi I have just released the 0.3 revision of ActiveRecord - make sure to get the fresh, hot packages from https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases What is ActiveRBAC? ------------------- ActiveRBAC is a Ruby on Rails library that provides a full stack RBAC (Role Based Authorization) system with user, group, role and permission management.

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

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.

Hi. I have an app where "users" can belong in "groups" with certain "roles" (eg. a user can own a group). Normally I''d make users has_and_belongs_to_many groups and put a role_id on the join table. But - a role is really a first class citizen also, so a model is in order. The problem with making a "role" model which has_many "users"

I''ve recently started playing with InstantRails 1.0 and am now wanting to experiment with the Login and active RBAC engines but having trouble getting them to install. I''ve checked the following but can''t find any info on how to get it to work. http://rails-engines.org/wiki/pages/Engines+plugin I''ve also tried the following:

Hi How do I publish a plugin so I can download it via ./script/plugin. I''ve put my plugin (ActiveRBAC) on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/ pages/Plugins but seemingly ./script/plugin discover does not find it :/ Even if I do ./script/plugin source \ https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/source/active_rbac/trunk/ active_rbac it does not appear on ./script/plugin list.

Hi, I''m building an application which is going to require quite fine grained access control. Deciding if a user is allowed to access an action will probably require checking quite number of different rules, so a simple role-based system won''t be flexible enough. The approach I think I will try first is, if it''s possible, to ignore permission issues inside the

In http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial there is a string called require ''digest/sha1'' in the model. What does it do? Everything else is well explained besides that. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi guys, has anyone here implemented role based authorization from rails recipes into acts_as_authenticated ? how''s it going? Case: there is ONE admin. And MANY users. Admin is the only one who can create, edit, delete user, etc.. users also need to login, but go to different pages. do you guys think it''s good to try rick''s acts_as_authenticated + chad''s

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

Hi! I recently started with RoR and this may be a newbie question. I have a company table, employee table and transactions table. 1 company has many employees. Each employee performs many transactions. Employees from different companies LOGIN to the system to record their transactions. Employees can search on all transactions associated to their companies (indirect relationship via employee),

In http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial there is the string/method protected in the model. What does it do? Can''t find that in http://api.rubyonrails.org/. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am using salted hash login generator to create my login page. In the user_environment.rb file, I saw that there is a comment saying should NOT include the email field in the changeable user fields array. Does anyone know why? > # Add all changeable user fields to this array. > # They will then be able to be edited from the edit action. You > # should NOT include the

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 :-)

Not sure if I want to build my own or use something already built that''s out there. This is the first step in my project though and a major one, so some of my requirements would be: 1-The ability for a user to register themselves 2-Email / link activation 3-Access levels (or ACL control - I think they are basically the same). 4-The ability to track users either through session or cookies

Hi CAS is a centralized authentication service, and the cas_auth filter can be installed to automatically make your web application authenticate against a CAS server. The SVN path to the plugin is http://svn.ki.se/rails/plugins/cas_auth and a homepage with some information can be found at http://opensource.ki.se/casauth.html For use, just install the plugin in your application and set

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
