Okie. This is what I see from how its happening: 1. There is a login page 2. When login page is loaded I see an entry for a session put in. +-----+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+ | id | session_id | data | created_at | updated_at | +-----+----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+---------------------+ | 172 | 683aeb1fec89147c16db6ffb8614d915 | BAh7BiIQX2NzcmZfdG9rZW4iMUVNN1ZVSSt6cGdMaTdRT1RycjhuVTlkWHMr M1RyYzZyZUpYaEh5eE93VDQ9 3. When someone logs in successfully, I set the user_id value in the session variable. Right then I see that the sql record has the value in "data" variable changed. session[:user_id] = params[:email] 4. When someone logs out, I clear the value and call reset_session. Again I see the sql record has the "data" variable with changed value. session[:user_id] = nil reset_session Hence the problem is: 1. Can't I ensure a session record is created only when I want - After the user logs in ? 2. If not, Can I differentiate a authenticated session vs unauthenticated sessions (sessions where the login page was just loaded OR sessions where the user logged out) ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
