Question

I’m migrating to Rails 3 and found that my Restful_authentication plugin gives me many problems. I never really liked it so I want to install another plugin instead but only found outdated plugins.

Is there any authentication plugin updated to work with Rails3?

Answer 1

the best i’ve seen do far is Devise. You could also try authlogic, but i’d recommend the first one.

Used with an authorization gem like Cancan will make your life way easier.

here’s railscasts episode 209 about devise (also check 210 for more customizing)

i followed this tutorial to do a combination between cancan and devise, and it worked “just like that” (there is also a part 2 of that tutorial)
