So far I have talked about the different technologies I am using and getting them setup. Now I want to start talking about the plug-ins I am find useful. Recently I have started to use Acts as Authenticated and SSL Requirement. First if you are looking at the different authentication / authorization plug-ins I strongly recommend looking at Acts as Authenticated. <a title=“Here is a great source of information.”
href=“http://technoweenie.stikipad.com/plugins/show/Acts+as+Authenticated”>Here is a great source of information. The plug-in just gives you basic features. The URL I listed before has lot of modiications to the plug-in to add features like emails authentication, forgot my password, remember me, and many other features. Many even include additional tests.
The next plug-in I have been using is SSL Requirement. This is a great plug-in. It just works! In your controllers you just tell it what actions require SSL and which ones don’t. It handles it from there. I have run into 1 problem, but that appears to be a bug in rails integration test system. Flash messages get lost when doing rails integration tests and switching between http / https. This does not happen in a production environment. I have to check and see if this is a known bug.
