Authentication and XML

[JezC]

Hi - another question I can't easily answer from the docs... I have an
app that I'd like to be accessible to another program. So I want an
XML interface. I can see how to add those forms. I can't see any docs
about how to alter the Hobo User model to allow some sort of token
based authentication - I've seen and used this with Devise/CanCan, but
I don't see (or may be I don't understand what I see) in the standard
Hobo User Model.

How do I create a Hobo App that allows another program to authenticate
and interact?

I believe you are going to have to modify the user model etc to handle this.  I think it would be similar to how forgot password sends a token that authorized the user to set their password.  You'll need a similar token that is saved on the user model that is used to authorize the user for the xml interface.

Hi,

Have you tried ActiveResource? I just used it to connect two Rails
apps (one of them Hobo) and it worked beautifully.

You can access remote models creating a model like this
(app/models/context.rb):

class Context < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = http://user:password@remoteapplication/
end

I just tested Hobo in the receiver end, I didn't try it the other way
around.

Regards,
Ignacio
