Has anyone gotten started with getting the OAuth2 replacement for Facebook Connect working with auth\_logic? I know there is an OAuth2 gem ([http://intridea.com/2010/4/22/oauth2-](http://intridea.com/2010/4/22/oauth2-) gem-just-in-time-for-facebook-graph?blog=company), and I’m thinking of using that to integrate. Anyone know when the Fb Connect API will be shut down? ---

Rpx might be good for some people. It’s a single sign-on service that you pay a nominal fee to use. Doesn’t fit the bill for me. Thanks. ---

I recall the author saying he made the new gem as opposed to doing changes in the original oauth gem because oauth2 is “a different beast”. I tried to use the oauth2 gem to log-in to twitter, and I confirm - obviously- it doesn’t work. I’m looking forward Twitter to implement oauth 2. ---

nice. I’ll be looking forward to that. Will it play nice with other login options (the old oauth in particular, which is still needed for Twitter)? Cheers, Andrew ---

I just released a gem yesterday that adds OAuth2 support to Authlogic if you guys are still looking for something. You can find it here: [http://github.com/andyhite/authlogic\_oauth2](http://github.com/andyhite/authlogic_oauth2) Andrew
