In case you were not aware, acts\_as\_authenticated is now deprecated and has been replaced with Restful\_authentication. There is a great post at Rails Forum that explains step-by-step (with all code) of how to implement Restful\_authentication with Open-ID [http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14216](http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14216) Hope that helps you, as it certainly helped me quite a bit! –Cory On Aug 25, 3:04 am, Dharmdip R.
