Hi everybody.  
I totally disliked ‘restful\_authentication’ plugin for its need to  
generate code, difficult integration into existing models/controllers  
and lack of documentation. So, I spent a couple of weeks writing my  
own plugin for authentication. Please welcome:  
[http://github.com/snitko/jiff\_auth](http://github.com/snitko/jiff_auth).

All crucial info and howto is in README. PLease join the development  
if you like it.
