hi every body....
I need help..
I have the following code in a user model. But when i try to autenticate an
user always returns nil, my session controller calls the autenticate method.
I proves comparing only the database password with new encrypted password
but always returns nil. The database password was encryted with the same
encrypt method. I dont know what i need to do.
TNKS a lot..
# Authenticates a user by their login name and unencrypted password. Returns
the user or nil.
*
def self*.authenticate(login, password)
u = find_by_login(login) # need to get the salt and user_password
u && u.authenticated?(password) ? u :* nil
end
*
# Encrypts some data with the salt.
*
def self*.encrypt(password, salt)
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{salt}--#{password}--")
*
end
*
# Encrypts the password with the user salt
*
def* encrypt(password)
*
self*.class.encrypt(password, salt)
*
end
*
*
def* authenticated?(password)
user_password == encrypt(password)
*
end
*
