I am, as stated in the subject, having an issue with a before\_filter  
exception being ignored by the application.

My Customer Controller:

[http://pastie.org/1005487](http://pastie.org/1005487)

My Application Controller:

[http://pastie.org/1005490](http://pastie.org/1005490)

I have a link to a forgotten\_password action that, when clicked, gets  
redirected back to the customers/login page with an authorization error.  
Obviously, this is not what I want.

Can anyone help me out with this? I am, obviously, missing something.

Hello,

Could we have a look on your.rhtml, to make sur that the action that is  
triggered by the link is the good one ?

The problem was that customer resource map in my routes file had no  
:only option specified. Problem solved.
