Customizing Authentication

Authentication resides in an ActiveSupport::Concern module called SpudAuthentication. This allows you to override the base authlogic configuration or potentially swap it out for another authentication library.

To override the base authentication, create a file at models/concerns/spud_authentication.rb. Here is an example concern that would configure authlogic to allow users with duplicate email addresses.

module Concerns
  module SpudAuthentication
    extend ActiveSupport::Concern
    included do
      acts_as_authentic do |c|
        c.validate_email_field = false
      end
    end
  end
end
