Session[:user]

Hi,

When I log in from a form post to session/create there's a call to User.authenticate (which in turn puts a :user variable in the session from the self.current_user call.

My issue is when I call self.current_user = User.authenticate(...) from somewhere else and I redirect.. I lose my session variable. How could this happen?

Maybe somewhere has the code “reset_session” or “session[:user] = nil”
