Hello,

I am using the User Engine in a typical way. When an unathenticated  
user attempts to access a protected area of the site it works fine  
unless the the controller has been defined in a module. i.e. When I  
try and access localhost/admin/roles/list as an unathenticated user I  
get redirected to localhost/admin/user/login insted of the correct  
location: localhost/user/login.

I’ve changed the settings in the environment.rb to

login\_page: :controller =\> ‘user’, :action =\> 'login

but I don’t know how to force the user controller to always be  
unqualified. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Dan

Try :controller =\> ‘/user’
