restful_authentication: Where is 'crypted_password' ?

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of RoR installed on Fedora Core
6 Linux
with Apache 2.2.  I just installed the plugin
"restful_authentication" (http://agilew
ebdevelopment.com/plugins/
restful_authentication), but whenever I try and create a new
user, via
this code:

        def userconfirm
                user = User.new(params[:user])    # line
59
                if user.save
                        flash[:notice] = 'User was
successfully
created.'
                        redirect_to :action => 'list'
                else
                        render :action => 'userinfo'
                end
        end

but I get this error.  Where do I find this
"crypted_password" method?
- Dave

If you ran the command

    script/generate authenticated user session

after installing the plugin, then it should have generated a
migration
which creates the users table with the necessary
attributes.

If you didn't and your Users table already exists, you can
generate
the rest of the stuff by using the --skip-migration option
on the
generate.

You can see the fields which are needed in this case by
looking in
vendor/plugins/restful_authentication/generators/authenticat
ed/templates/migration.rb

Ok, I added the column "crypted_password" to my
users table.  I assume
this means I should have deleted the column
"password".  Anyway, now I
get another warning when I try and create a user.  Upon
completing the
fields and entering a password and a confirmed password, I
get

There were problems with the following fields:
    * Password confirmation can't be blank

even though I'm entering a value for password confirmation. 
I don't
have a field "password_confirmation" in my
database ... didn't think I
needed one.  This is what the code looks like:

<p><label
for="user_login">Username</label><br/&
gt;
<%= text_field 'user', 'login'  %></p>

<p><label
for="user_password">Password</label><b
r/>
<%= password_field 'user', 'password'  %></p>

<p><label
for="password_confirmation">Confirm
Password</label><br/>
<%= password_field 'password_confirmation', '' 
%></p>

Any ideas? - Dave

You should have bits in your user model that look like these
(nearly  
all of it is pure generated code from
acts_as_authenticated):

   # Virtual attribute for the unencrypted password
   attr_accessor :password

   validates_presence_of     :login, :email
   validates_presence_of     :password,                  
:if  
=> :password_required?
   validates_presence_of     :password_confirmation,     
:if  
=> :password_required?
   validates_length_of       :password, :within => 4..40,
:if  
=> :password_required?
   validates_confirmation_of :password,                  
:if  
=> :password_required?
   validates_length_of       :login,    :within => 3..40
   validates_length_of       :email,    :within =>
3..100
   validates_uniqueness_of   :login, :email, :case_sensitive
=>  
false, :message => "has already been taken.  Please
choose another."

   before_save :encrypt_password

   # Authenticates a user by their email and unencrypted
password.   
Returns the user or nil.
   #
   # NOTE: This implicitly relies on the case-insensitive
string  
equality of
   # MySql when finding a matching email address.  If this
were to  
ever change,
   # the email should probably be made lowercase before
being saved  
(and before
   # doing the find, of course).
   def self.authenticate(email, password)
     u = find_by_email(email) # need to get the salt
     u && u.authenticated?(password) ? u : nil
   end

   def record_login_time
     update_attribute(:last_loggedin_at, Time.now.utc)
   end

   # Encrypts some data with the salt.
   def self.encrypt(password, salt)
    
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#--#--")

   end

   # Encrypts the password with the user salt
   def encrypt(password)
     self.class.encrypt(password, salt)
   end

   def authenticated?(password)
     crypted_password == encrypt(password)
   end

   def remember_token?
     remember_token_expires_at && Time.now.utc < 

remember_token_expires_at
   end

   # These create and unset the fields required for
remembering users  
between browser closes
   def remember_me
     self.remember_token_expires_at = 2.weeks.from_now.utc
     self.remember_token            =
encrypt("#-- 
#")
     save(false)
   end

   def forget_me
     self.remember_token_expires_at = nil
     self.remember_token            = nil
     save(false)
   end

   protected

   # before save filter
   def encrypt_password
     return if password.blank?
     self.salt =
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{Time.now.to_s}-- 
#--") if new_record?
     self.crypted_password = encrypt(password)
   end

   # conditional validation
   def password_required?
     crypted_password.blank? || !password.blank?
   end

Pay particular attention to the conditional nature of the  
validations.  You only have to worry about the validation if
you do  
not yet have a crypted_password (i.e., already in the
database) or you  
have a non-blank password which typically means that the
user is in  
the midst of changing (or establishing) it.

NOTE: This is code that was extracted from a working model
in a real  
Rails project.  It does not necessarily work as is in YOUR
project and  
any difference between it and the code that the
acts_as_authenticated  
plugin produced is present for a reason (even if that reason
is just  
that I liked the indentation a bit better my way . YMMV

Thanks.  This cured the problem.  On to the next one.  When
I create
the user, I now see an error:


 NoMethodError in RegisterController#userconfirm
undefined method `salt=' for #<User:0xb76961c8>
RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.5/lib/

`encrypt_password'
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/easyrx/app/controllers/
register_controller.rb:59:in `userconfirm'


How do I get salt defined?  Here is the code in my user.rb
file:

  protected
    # before filter
    def encrypt_password
      return if password.blank?
      self.salt =
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{Time.now.to_s}--
#--") if new_record?                      # line
88
      self.crypted_password = encrypt(password)
    end

and here is code from my register_controller.rb file:

        def userconfirm
                user = User.new(params[:user])
                if user.save         # line 59
                        flash[:notice] = 'User was
successfully
created.'
                        redirect_to :action => 'list'
                else
                        render :action => 'userinfo'
                end
        end



Thanks for your continued help, - Dave

That should be a column in your database (and thus an
attribute of  
your user model).
