Im learning Rails by building apps.
I want to make my first authenticated app: users signup, login, do some changes in models they have access to and logout.
I did the Google search but it is quite confusing: many plugins, many tutorials. Don’t know where to start.
Is there a state-of-the-art authentication method for Rails? What do you use in Production to authenticate your users?
Any help in this will be helpful. Thanks
+1 to Jason, -1 to NSD and sparky. Authentication system is not the thing you want to build yourself, at least if you’re aiming for production use. It’s like inventing your own encryption algorithm – it’s a lot more safe to use something extensively tested and well-developed.
I’ve also been using authlogic, but there are some alternatives over there – like the good old restful authentication, and devise, which I guess is more modern so to speak. BTW the two latest railscasts are devoted to devise.
