Allows you to create session with an object. Ex:
UserSession.create(my_user_object)
Be careful with this, because Authlogic is assuming that you have already confirmed that the user is who he says he is.
For example, this is the method used to persist the session internally. Authlogic finds the user with the persistence token. At this point we know the user is who he says he is, so Authlogic just creates a session with the record. This is particularly useful for 3rd party authentication methods, such as OpenID. Let that method verify the identity, once it's verified, pass the object and create a session.
Returning meaningful credentials
# File lib/authlogic/session/unauthorized_record.rb, line 23 def credentials if authenticating_with_unauthorized_record? details = {} details[:unauthorized_record] = "<protected>" details else super end end
Setting the unauthorized record if it exists in the credentials passed.
# File lib/authlogic/session/unauthorized_record.rb, line 34 def credentials=(value) super values = value.is_a?(Array) ? value : [value] self.unauthorized_record = values.first if values.first.class < ::ActiveRecord::Base end
