Why not have a log-in action and if a user is successfully authenticated, store something in the session. Then you can check for the existence of this session variable and act accordingly.
That's easy enough to do, but how do I "act accordingly"? How do I tell my controller that, based on the presence of this session property, connect to the database using these credentials instead of those?
