This gem provides a mechanism for user authentication and authorization via NYU Libraries PDS system. It extends Authpds and provides NYU Libraries' specific configuration.
== Basics
=== Generate User-like model
$ rails generate model User username:string email:string firstname:string \
lastname:string mobile_phone:string crypted_password:string password_salt:string \
session_id:string persistence_token:string login_count:integer last_request_at:string \
current_login_at:string last_login_at:string last_login_ip:string current_login_ip:string \
user_attributes:text refreshed_at:datetime
=== Configure User-like model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
serialize :user_attributes
acts_as_authentic do |c|
c.validations_scope = :username
c.validate_password_field = false
c.require_password_confirmation = false
c.disable_perishable_token_maintenance = true
end
end
=== Generate UserSession model
$ rails generate authlogic:session UserSession
=== Configure UserSession with Authpds options
class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
pds_url "https://login.library.nyu.edu"
redirect_logout_url "http://bobcat.library.nyu.edu"
calling_system "nyu_system"
anonymous true
end
=== Create UserSessions controller
$ rails generate controller UserSessions --no-assets --no-helper
=== Mixin authpds methods into UserSessionsController
class UserSessionsController < ApplicationController
require 'authpds'
include Authpds::Controllers::AuthpdsSessionsController
end
=== Mixin authpds methods into ApplicationController
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery
require 'authpds'
include Authpds::Controllers::AuthpdsController
end
