#305 Authentication with Warden pro

This is great, really great. When create an application with authentication, i used the
devise. But, after that i will try to integrate the warden. There is a very intresting
point that move our authentication up into Rack middleware. Great!

Every time our eyes keep on your screencasts.
Thank you Ryan,

Tnx. That was very useful. I'm currently rewriting the authentication of production app and both of today's episodes have been exactly what I needed.

Thanks!

It's just great!

By the way, I think there is a typo error on the Show Notes > Resources

Divise Warden Strategies (devise?)

Fantastic! This could very much come in handy for future projects.

Shouldn't "def warden" be a helper method? At least, we should hide it as action.

Could this be used for a single sign-on system? So that I have an authentication app running that passes out authentications to different apps?

Is anyone else having issues with playing videos on iPad?

How would you apply a :remember_me strategy?

Rails.application.config.middleware.use Warden::Manager do |manager|
  manager.default_strategies :password, :remember_me
  manager.failure_app = lambda { |env| SessionsController.action(:new).call(env) }
end

...

Warden::Strategies.add(:password) do
  def valid?
    params['email'] && params['password'] || :remember_me
  end

...

end

Any Ideas?

I know this might sound like asking why not use Devise? But how would you implement email sending and verification when a user signs up? Am working on it, but having some troubles with testing.

Warden + Cancan + namespaces anyone?

Source code isn`t available?
Sweet combination :)

It would be great to see how to test controllers using warden. I mean it would always be great to see more tests, but authentication systems all have their own implications when testing controllers.

Agreed Dan, I've been through hell trying to get controller tests with this stuff.

Great episode! Thank you, Ryan!

I wrote controller test helpers for Warden.
