Well for starters you could use an authentication solution like Devise.

Or, you could create your own solution like so:

https://gist.github.com/1986547

This is just a simple custom solution I created. I also went back and built my own image verification system and tied it into this custom solution.

But, I provided you the basics for handling authentication.

In my DB schema, my password field is called :password_digest. You could feasibly name your password field in your DB to anything you wanted. You just have to edit the methods I provided in the gist.

I also copied much of this initial code right from Rails when I first started using Bcrypt.

I hope that helps get you started.

basically my doubt is the HTTP BASIC authentications says… Example…if the username is “user” and password is “password”. “user:password” it will converted into via basic64 ecoding, then we will get like this

**Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==**



So, if i pass the username and password via restclient like this



**res = RestClient::Resource.new url, :user_name => params[:name], :password => params[:password].** it will automatically convert into this format

Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

…???

Plz give me a solution, i have been searching this doubt for 3 days…
