authlogic and oauth-plugin

does somebody tested - will authlogic works with oauth-plugin (https://github.com/pelle/oauth-plugin) or not?

回答1:

The short answer is no. I am currently integrating oauth-plugin's service providership with my own auth system (which predates authlogic, acts_as_authenticated and all the rest).

oauth-plugin service providership works by means of a code generator generating two controllers, which are then tied into some library files in the plugin. All of these files expect a login_required class method with the same semantics that acts_as_authenticated uses.

authlogic makes no assumptions about your controllers at all, so it won't work out of the box with oauth-plugin, however that design decision also means it will be fairly easy to structure your controllers in the expected way. Therefore it should be (maybe trivially) easy to build a shim to support oauth-plugin.

However in my case I've decided to run the generator then to extract what I need from the plugin and delete the plugin itself. The primary reason I am doing this is that I explicitly don't have the login_required method in my auth system, so I would have to monkey patch the lib to get it to work. Secondly, there's a lot of stuff in the plugin I just don't need. Thirdly, most of the stuff that is truly library-level has already been abstracted into the oauth gem proper, so the stuff living in the oauth-plugin lib directory is in this weird no mans land between the generated code and the actual library.

I'm in the process of getting this to work right now. I just rolled my own using the authlogic methods to make it play nicely. (I'm trying to get a provider working, so the authlogic-oauth doesn't seem right for me)

I'll edit as I go

def logged_in?
  return true if current_user 
end 

def login_required 
  return true if logged_in? 
  store_location 
  redirect_to new_user_session_path and return false                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
end

Authlogic has an add-on that was specifically developed for it, which can be found here.
