There is no facility in rails for handling authentication. You need to either write your own or use one of the many plugins out there (which generally still require some modification to work in your app). Examples are LoginGenerator, SaltedHashLoginGenerator, ModelSecurity, ActiveRBAC, acts\_as\_autheticated, acts\_as\_acl, UserEngine, etc. b ---

I recommend Rails Recipes by Chad F… The current beta book as two recipes on login and authentication schemes. You’ll not only get the login implementation that fits your application, but you’ll also have the benefit of understanding what’s going on. Plus, you’ll get 60 some odd additional recipes all for the same prices. (They might even throw in a keychain or something.) 🙂 > **[Pragmatic Bookshelf: By Developers, For Developers](https://pragprog.com)** > > We improve the lives of professional developers.

Sure, you can get the pdf right here: [http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr\_rr/index.html](http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_rr/index.html) If you just want the pdf then just pick that, otherwise you can get the combo pack, which gives you the pdf now and the hardcopy book when it’s released. It’s a real savings to get the combo pack, plus I like having a book around. Sometimes there’s just not enough screen real estate. Good luck. Michael ---
