The authorize method has special handling for logging in via a token
(login_engine/lib/login_engine/authenticated_system.rb):
def user?
# First, is the user already authenticated?
return true if not session[:user].nil?
# If not, is the user being authenticated by a token?
id = params[:user_id]
key = params[:key]
if id and key
session[:user] = User.authenticate_by_token(id, key)
return true if not session[:user].nil?
end
# Everything failed
return false
end
i.e. when it checks for a logged in user, if an ID and Key parameter
are both present it will attempt to authenticate you based on that.
That would be the place to start debugging.....
