http://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/ FYI: Most newcomers, and veterans alike, don't typically reinvent the authentication wheel. They instead use one of the excellent authentication gems that already exist. https://github.com/plataformatec/devise https://github.com/intridea/omniauth > You should also consider that, the authentication system also be on > call (it should be listening everytime the user goes from one page to > another page by checking if s/he is authorized and also the session > haven't expired yet and so on.).

Authentication and Authorization. I personally use OmniAuth for authentication and CanCan for authorization. To me this is an excellent combination for most of my needs. https://github.com/ryanb/cancan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
