I am using the authentication example of Rails Recipes book (around
page 135)
I am trying to make a sign-up form for it
I have the following method
def password=(pass)
salt=[Array.new(6){rand(256).chr}.join].pack(“m”).chomp
self.password_salt, self.password_hash = salt,
Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(pass + salt)
end
which seems to work
I use
attr_accessor :password
So that I can have a password field on my form
But if I use validates_length_of :password, :within => 5…40
The password always fails the validation even if I enter more that 5
chars etc…
Any help would be appreciatted
Thanks
