This article is part of the confusing world of Authentication in Rails. Feel free to help.
This is a modification of the SaltedHashLoginGenerator.
Note: Salt and Sugar are fairly heavyweight systems, if you just need a simple user system check out acts_as_authenticated
login_sugar is a modification of salted_login generator 1.1.1 that works
out of the box on Rails 1.2.3
Requires Rails 1.2 or greater.
Rails 2.0: As of version 0.9.5, password validation is broken for Rails 2.0. It was a bug of login_sugar, just remove all the ’@’ sign of ”@password_needs_confirmation” in the model rb file. (by http://omegasharp.com)
Download: Login Sugar Gem 0.9.5
Or gem install login_sugar_generator
