The default behavior for logging in: 1) Checks your credentials against the sunflower db a) if it successfully authenticates, syncs your data to the local db b) if unsuccessful, checks your credentials in the local db and logs you in or fails, depending
So if you can't access the sunflower db, you'll jump to 1b) and it will check against the local db. Right now, logging in doesn't get you any better or worse access to the SDS. All functionality is open to anyone. Now, obviously that's not a great way to run the SDS, but full authentication and access controls are coming at a later date. The SDS needs rails 1.1.6 to run for now. Fortunately, rails gems can generally coexist with different versions of themselves. Simply run 'gem install rails --version 1.1.6', and you should be good to go. To choose which version of rails, in your config/environment.rb, edit the line: RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '1.1.6' and change the version to whatever version you'd like.
