Question

I have the following route:

post ':client_name/login' => 'auth#log_in'

Client side I have a form with the following fields:

1. username
2. password
3. and client_name

I was hoping that the form data would override the route data so that I could change the client name if needed. But it doesn’t. Any chance there’s a setting for accessing that? Or a way to directly access only the post data?

F.y.i.: I don’t show that <input> tag unless the user puts in the wrong password first. In that case I provide it (already filled out with the value from the route). This is helpful mainly for internal users who might get a link from one of their clients, they can then log in with a special value for the client that gives them more universal access.

Answer 1

Alright, until someone gives me a better solution (and I don’t believe there is no better solution) I’ll change the name of the posted client name to :override_client_name.
