What is the best ruby on rails login and authentication plugin

the restful authentication plugin does appear to be broken with rails (2.3.4) [name error开发者_StackOverflow and yes I know about the bug that is on hold]. Is their a better plugin/gem?

I think most of developers will agree right now, authlogic is the best authentication plugin.

For authorization, I do personnaly really like acl9 which perfectly integrates with authlogic.

A fairly new entry in this area is devise which is based on warden, a rack-based authentication solution.

You can see the popularity of the various plugins over at ruby toolbox.

I would suggest you look at http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic - It doesn't do the authorization part, but that's never terribly difficult to setup. What it does do, and do well is authentication.

you haven't really give much in the way of criteria so I'm just going to toss this out there.

authlogic and read the associated railscast

Somewhy no one even mentioned clearance. Is it really not worth mentioning?

I recently thought about using clearance instead of authlogic in a project, but didn't see enough advantages.
