Hi, just want to talk about the status of the migration to Devise.
I've been learning about Gitorious authentication, Devise and Warden lately.
Here is part of what I learned:
Devise is built upon Warden. Warden is a Rack middleware that is lazily
loaded through a lazy object available at env.request['warden'] for a
Rack application.
It allows different applications in the same Rack stack to share a
common authentication system.
You can authenticate using Warden with
env.request['warden'].authenticate(:passord, :another_strategy, :etc).
This will try the Password strategy, then AnotherStrategy if the prior
was not successful, etc. Devise actually uses warden.authenticate(:scope
=> :user) in the case of Gitorious. Warden supports authentication for
different scopes and Devise supports scopes :user and :admin, although
I'm only considering a single scope (:user) for Gitorious at the moment.
The strategies used are set in Devise config, which delegate to Warden
manager through a default_strategies method.
I'll write more about this when I get at work or I'll miss the bus ;)
Best regards!
