Authentication
= authentication plugin
This plugin provide the infrastructure for implementing a pluggable authentication system. This plugin only provides support for the lower-level model functionality to carry out various authentication actions. Higher level functions that the user interacts with (login pages, forgot my password, etc.) should be implemented by the application or a plugin like the login plugin which is designed for this purpose.
See the #Authentication module for overview info
= Installation
Standard Method ruby ./script/plugin install http://authentication.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk mv vendor/plugins/trunk vendor/plugins/authentication Piston Method piston import http://authentication.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk vendor/plugins/authentication= NOTICE
Since this plugin does not yet contain many modules that it hopes to one day (POP3, etc.) the internal API is not set in stone. I wanted to leave a place for plugging in other authentication systems but do not yet actually have any need for any besides a salted hash and basic tokens. This means as the others are added the internals will probably change to account for the variety.
= NOTICE
Since nobody uses all aspects of this program different people are maintaining different parts. If you have any questions about a specific authentication module contact correct person:
