authenticate not working in rails

[amvis]

i have this code

         user_name=auth_decoded[0]

          password=auth_decoded[1]

          @user = User.find_by_email(user_name)

          if (@chkuser= (@user && @user.authenticate(password))) 

The above snippet is not working, any solution...?

Thank you

i don't know where "user_name" comes from but i think you are passing
in user_name where you search for the email.

"@user = User.find_by_email(user_name)"

change it to:

"@user = User.find_by_email(user_email)" or however your variable is
called

 i think thats not a pblm, bcz here user_name basically that is an email address for login purpose, Have any another issues with that code?

user_name=auth_decoded[0]

          password=auth_decoded[1]

          @user = User.find_by_email(user_name)

          if (@chkuser= (@user && @user.authenticate(password))) 

in  the above code, this  @user.authenticate(password)  return false......

Why like this....?

Thank you
