Migrating from login_engine to AAA

Rails
1

Hello all,

I’m currently upgrading my app to Rails 1.2, and the login_engine has
been deprecated for that version.
Is there an easy way to upgrade my existing user table (especially
passwords) for use with acts_as_authenticated?

thanks in advance.

I’m in the process of upgrading a rails app from login_engine to acts
as authenticated. I believe that the user table from login_engine is
compatible with AAA. I am having one problem though. When I go to run
the AAA generator I get the following error:

bash-# script/generate authenticated --svn user account

I have already un-installed the login engine with the following
command:

bash-# script/plugin remove login_engine

However, it looks like the generator authenticated is still confused.
I’m looking for a solution to this problem but haven’t found one yet.

Ok so what you have to to is add a column to your existing users table
called crypted_password. Also the problems I was having steamed from
lines in config/environment specific to login_engin. I commented those
lines out and things started working.

I completely removed and re-installed acts as authenticated and now
I’m getting the following error:
