module Authlogic
# This allows you to scope your authentication. For example, let's say all users belong
# to an account, you want to make sure only users that belong to that account can
# actually login into that account. Simple, just do:
#
# class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
# authenticates_many :user_sessions
# end
#
# Now you can scope sessions just like everything else in ActiveRecord:
#
# @account.user_sessions.new(*args)
# @account.user_sessions.create(*args)
# @account.user_sessions.find(*args)
# # ... etc
#
# Checkout the authenticates_many method for a list of options.
# You may also want to checkout Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::Scope to scope your model.
module AuthenticatesMany
module Base
# Allows you set essentially set up a relationship with your sessions. See module
# definition above for more details.
#
# === Options
#
# * session_class: default: "#{name}Session",
# This is the related session class.
#
# * relationship_name: default: options[:session_class].klass_name.underscore.pluralize,
# This is the name of the relationship you want to use to scope everything. For
# example an Account has many Users. There should be a relationship called :users
# that you defined with a has_many. The reason we use the relationship is so you
# don't have to repeat yourself. The relationship could have all kinds of custom
# options. So instead of repeating yourself we essentially use the scope that the
# relationship creates.
#
# * find_options: default: nil,
# By default the find options are created from the relationship you specify with
# :relationship_name. But if you want to override this and manually specify
# find_options you can do it here. Specify options just as you would in
# ActiveRecord::Base.find.
#
# * scope_cookies: default: false
# By the nature of cookies they scope themselves if you are using subdomains to
# access accounts. If you aren't using subdomains you need to have separate
# cookies for each account, assuming a user is logging into more than one account.
# Authlogic can take care of this for you by prefixing the name of the cookie and
# session with the model id. Because it affects both cookies names and session keys,
# the name `scope_cookies` is misleading. Perhaps simply `scope` or `scoped`
# would have been better.
