This is a port of the rails plugin "restful_authentication" by Rick Olson to the Merb Web Framework.

Please report any bugs / patches to has.sox /at/ gmail /dot/ com

You can find the original at http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/restful_authentication/

To use:

./script/generate authenticated user sessions \
  --include-activation

The first parameter specifies the model that gets created in signup (typically a user or account model). A model with migration is created (if migrations are available), as well as a basic controller with the create method.

The second parameter specifies the sessions controller name. This is the controller that handles the actual login/logout function on the site.

The third parameter (--include-activation) generates the code for a Mailer and the required support code. Don't forget to setup your mailer for this.

Currently supported ORMs
