Login function is like method “get”  
Register function is like method “post”

The syntax for this is :

map.resources :Controller\_names, :Login =\> { :read =\> :get }  
map.resources :Controller\_names, :Register =\> { :read =\> :post }

Enjoiy…

Take a look as restful\_authentication plugin, even if you don’t end up

Of course, I think reinventing the authentication wheel is a waist of  
time, when plugins like restful\_authentication, among others, do the job  
quite well.
