Use Model Other Than Users

[Karl]

I would like to use authlogic in my existing app that does not have
authentication. But my users are in a model called CaseWorker.

This did not work:

class CaseWorker < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_authentic do |c|
c.session_class = 'UserSession'
end
end

How do I get authlogic to work with a User model named CaseWorker?

Something like this should work.

class CaseWorker < ActiveRecord::Base
 acts_as_authentic do |c|

   c.session_class = 'Session'
 end
end

class Session < Authlogic::Session::Base

  authenticate_with CaseWorker

end

authenticate_with... that's the ticket.

Thanks.

No prob, I'm not sure session_class is needed. Though it probably couldn't hurt. One thing to note is that it should be c.session_class = Session as session_class accepts a class not a string.

Cheers.

It is not needed. My session class is UserSession, and it works just
fine with c.session_class.

And you are correct, it takes a class parameter.
