This is for a personal project that doesn't require rapid development. I'm just trying to build my own authentication system so I can better understand the Rails environment. Like you said, perhaps he's declaring a setter and getter method of the User class with the identifier of "password". Nevertheless nowhere is it explained how to translate this to a password hash in this book. I looked at the Advanced Recipes book and it doesn't cover authentication at all. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
