Rails and Amazon SimpleDB authentication

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to use Amazon's SimpleDB with RoR. I need a standard user registration / authentication / roles checking.

Pretty simple, but it seems that restful-authentication plugin did't work with SimpleDB.

Can someone please point me to working solution or should I write my own from scratch?

Anyone? Please?

Answer 1

Here is a Ruby on Rails SimpleDB article from 2008. It references the rubyforge aws-sdb project.

There is also a project on rubyforge called SimplerDB but it is more of a replacement than a plugin.

Neither of these appear to have been updated recently. If they are not useful to you in their current state, maybe you can contact the authors directly. It may be easier to update one of these projects than to write one from scratch.

Hi guys,

We (Appoxy) very actively maintain SimpleRecord, which is a Ruby library for SimpleDB that is just like ActiveRecord. Very easy to use.
