Acts as Authenticated

The whole idea behind the plugin is that you generate the code once and add in your application specific authentication actions. This makes no attempt to decide how your application’s authorizing works.

    This plugin is an excellent way to get a quick start on adding a login to your application.

    I do like this, but am now looking to see if it supports more detailed user information like address, etc and if not, i'll look to extend it.

    Is it possible to create a user within the migration itself? I want this user to be an administrator

    This worked for me in Rails 2.1:

    script/plugin install http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/acts_as_authenticated
