In the same boat as Ive had to port phpBB users over and had to switch between MD5 keys and SHA1 keys, and after looking @ Opinion the passwords are not even encrypted @ all .. I wish the authentication method on the Login Engine was more 'plugable' to work w/ other apps. From a security standpoint the method used in the Login Engine is by far the right way to go but there is no way to get users to port without having to capture the password and create new keys (there is no method for this).
Im under the assumption that as long as the session[:user] is filled @ login + nilified @ logout you should be good to go. I too would like to know what a more official Rails method of doing this would be. - Jon On May 3, 2006, at 11:46 AM, Piers wrote: > Hi > I've got a general problem, and as ever am running up against the > problem of having a small brain. > > I've got an app using login engine, but I need to add some forum > functionality. > Ideally, I'd want to use Opinion (http://home.leetsoft.com/ > opinion), but > I've no clue how to go about tieing it in to my app without having to > make the user login twice. > > Is there a way to merge the two apps under one controller so that I > can > use the one user table, and be reasonably resilient against any > upgrades > to Opinion and not have a load of namespace clashes? > > Same applies in general - how to run two apps side by side > > Thanks for any help > > Piers > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > engine-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.rails-engines.org/listinfo.cgi/engine-users-rails- > engines.org > _______________________________________________ engine-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rails-engines.org/listinfo.cgi/engine-users-rails-engines.org
