Question

I’m using Devise with Rails3 for authentication, however due to the nature of the app the IP of the client changes. How do I stop Devise requiring the users session to be on a single IP. Obviously the cookie is persisting when the IP changes.

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

I assume that you have :rememberable in your devise options some thing like:

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    devise :database_authenticatable, :confirmable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
  end

And in your migration you have something like this:

create_table :users do |t|
  t.database_authenticatable
  t.confirmable
  t.recoverable
  t.rememberable
  t.trackable
  t.timestamps
end

Again the emphases is on rememberable for the model and migration.
