I just saw a mention here of LoginEngine, which I hadn''t heard of before. 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, 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

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.

I am using the SaltedHashLoginGenerator. and would like to send the e-mail in multipart/alternative format. By default my application is using forgot_password_en.rhtml template.

Hi all, I''m posting this in the hope that someone who understands rails dependencies can shed some light. I''ve implemented a "ModelSecurity" module in the vein of Bruce Peren''s old ModelSecurity plugin (http://rubyforge.org/projects/model- security/). My ModelSecurity module lives in $RAILS_ROOT/lib. It is automatically included into ActiveRecord::Base by a

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

Hiall, I would be very interested in your opinions on the ModelSecurity plugin by Bruce Perens. http://perens.com/FreeSoftware/ModelSecurity/Tutorial.html Some time ago, I read on a few pages that it is the way to go, on this list however, I didn''t read much about it. Apart from it''s security level, quoted from comments in source code: # FIX: At the moment we only support

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

I have been looking at the LoginGenerator gem. Looks great and can be easily modified. 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

Hello all, Again, thank you all in advance for any help here. I am trying to figure out how to show the role associated with a user, in a template. I am using the LoginGeneratorACLSystem along with the LoginGenerator.

Also, Scott

The wiki page says to put "before_filter :login_required" in the user (my "user" is "member") controller or in ApplicationController. However, wherever I put it I get NoMethodError. The rest of the SHLG stuff seems to be working... or at least I could get to the signup page, register, and
