P486 - What happened to the other authentication plugin?
Reported by Rick DeNatale | January 4th, 2008 @ 06:17 AM | in Next Printing
In the paragraph before the Acts as Authenticated heading, it's stated that Rick Olson wrote the two best authentication plugins for rails, and promises to talk about both of them. But the chapter only talks about acts_as_authenticated.
I'm assuming that the other one is restful_authentication, which appears to be Rick's preferred plugin since acts_as_authenticated generates a comment saying that it's been obsoleted by restful_authentication.

[The second edition will definitely need to cover the restful_authentication plugin instead of its older incarnation. I intended to do that in the first edition as part of the Rails 2 overhaul, but missed it in the end.]
San Dee, please change the paragraph right before the Acts As Authenticated heading to read as follows:
No need to worry or be confused. It turns out that Rails pros agree that the two
best authentication plugins are written by Rails core team member Rick Olson, a.k.a. techno weenie. In this chapter, we take an in-depth look at one of them, Acts As Authenticated.
