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.
