I've installed the restful_authentication plugin. I'm Using rails 2.2.2. However, I can't seem to get past a certain error: "undefined method acts_as_state_machine" It doesn't matter if I call db:migrate or script/server, everything results in this same error. Any ideas? ...
I have been working on a service that allows registered users to store data and retrieve it using an JavaScript XML Request. Basically, my service has one part that receives that product details and one part that returns them as XML on request. What I am trying to do is prevent people from accessing other users product details. So if on...
For some reason I'm getting an InvalidAuthenticityToken when making post requests to my application when using json or xml. My understanding is that rails should require an authenticity token only for html or js requests, and thus I shouldn't be encountering this error. The only solution I've found thus far is disabling protect_from_for...
I have tried to make it work around 6 times using different tutorials, and I arrive to the same result. I install the plugin correctly, generate the files correctly, add the routes correctly, migrate my database correctly, and yet when I go to myurl.com/signup or myurl.com/login, the "something went wrong" rails page appears (like a 404 ...
Hi all, I have a list of "online users", which I refresh every 30 seconds with Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater from prototype.js. There is an issue, that if a user has two tabs/windows open with the site, logs out in one of them, the PeriodicalUpdater is not canceled. This means that PeriodicalUpdater updates my block element with the entire l...
I have a fantasy football league rails app that was working last year and it's time to get it going again before the season starts. I cleared out the database and did a "rake db:migrate" so I could restart the app from scratch. The login page comes up fine but when a user tries to "sign up" using restful_authentication I get the followin...

Working on a new app and using restful-authentication. I was trying to make it as simple as possible to start and then iterate, so I didn't generate with the activation email functionality, planning to add it later down the road.

I'm using the popular restful authentication app/tutorial found here: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=74245#p74245 I have been using the app extensively and everything works great. The only issue that I'm having is that it takes anywhere from 60 seconds to several minutes for the system to process the creation of a new user. T...
I am a Spring/JavaEE web programmer and am starting to investigate the principles of REST for future web applications, but I can't figure out how to do usable logins. For a Web API it makes sense, but what about end user facing web applications? I have looked into the HTTP Basic/Digest Authentication but that only produces an ugly dialog...
If a user has cookies disabled in their browser can restful authentication and role requirement still work? On our site, with cookies disabled, the system won't let you log in. Any way to fix this? Thanks in advance. ...
Our site uses role requirement and restful authentication plugins for rails. We are seeing most users able to access the site (login) just fine but a handful of logins are failing after being successfully authenticated and forwarded to the member's controller. It seems like the require roles line isn't finding the appropriate role and ...
I have a simple web service that has an API third party developers are allowed to access. The API mostly follows REST principles. I'm interested in solutions to make the API more secure by requiring developers to use client certificates. Is there any open source solutions or other implementation advice any of you have that would assist ...
I'm trying to do Authentication against restful_authentication from a php application, however I understand it uses a SHA1(digest--salt--password--RESTFUL_AUTH_KEY). The issue is regardless of how much I try I can't get the hash to match. Reading through the documentation I see the digest is just the restful auth key, but that's where I ...

Since a short time my rails applications yields the following runtime error in the test suite: RuntimeError: Declare either attr_protected or attr_accessible for User, but not both. This was probably introduced by an update to restful_authentication. But scanning the code for "attr_protected" only shows me it is never called. So why t...
I am trying to store data from the current_user in a User model with attr_accessor :offset. I would like to fetch records of a different model using the offset stored in the current_user model. When I change this offset from a different model it does not save it? I feel a database Column for the offest is overkill. This offset would be ...
How would you combine OpenID with a RESTful web service? The personal project I'm working on is using the RPX SaaS to do OpenID. The key result of this is URL describing the logged in user. The app itself is heavily Javascript and I'm planning on using a REST api to communicate with the backend for database persistence and spatial proce...
