kandi X-RAY | rails-auth Summary

rails-auth is a Ruby library typically used in Security, Authentication, Ruby On Rails applications. rails-auth has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However rails-auth has 9 bugs. You can download it from GitHub.

Rails::Auth is a flexible library designed for both authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ) using Rack Middleware. It [splits AuthN and AuthZ steps into separate middleware classes][design overview], using AuthN middleware to first verify credentials (such as X.509 certificates or cookies), then authorizing the request via separate AuthZ middleware that consumes these credentials, e.g. [access control lists][acls] (ACLs). Rails::Auth can be used to authenticate and authorize end users using browser cookies, service-to-service requests using [X.509 client certificates][x509], or any other clients with credentials that have proper authenticating middleware. Despite what the name may lead you to believe, Rails::Auth also [works well with other Rack-based frameworks][rack] like Sinatra. [design overview]: [acls]: [x509]: [rack]:

QUESTION

Asked 2017-Mar-02 at 01:03

Relevant code below:
