you can’t create a user over the database, because LoginGenerater uses a
salt.
Have a look at your login-model, there is sth like this:

Please change the salt to something else,

Every application should use a different one

@@salt = ‘something’

So you have to create an accout via signup, then the salt is included.

On thing that helped me with logins and understanding the
salting/encryption:

‘tail’ (monitor the end of) the log\development.log file. Tail on *nix
is a
command, in windows you can tell radrails to tail the file, or just open
the
file & look at the end.

Look for lines like:
Parameters: {“commit”=>“Edit”, “action”=>“update”, “id”=>“2”,
“controller”=>“agents”, “agent”=>{“name”=>“John”, “phones”=>“Cell:
123\r\nWork: 466d”,
“password”=>“3624818282751adcb57f715c54bde0f1fe117534”}}

if you see Parameters: {“commit”=>“Sign in”, “action”=>“login”,
“controller”=>“agents”, “password”=>“secret”, “agent”=>“soso”}

then you aren’t doing something to the password to encrypt it.

i just tried to add user through signup but when i always get this error
NoMethodError in AccountController#signup
undefined method `redirect_back_or_default’ for

comment it out, you don’t need this. Instead write
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
or sth like this.
