RESTful-Authentication or Authlogic?

Question

I'm having trouble deciding between the two. They both seem like great plugins but I'd like to know which is easier to control.

What are your guy's experiences with these plugins? Which would you recommend?

Answer 1

I would prefer Authlogic than using Restful authentication .

Is you use authologic with one big advantage over Restful authentication it comes as both gem/plugin rather than a generator as in restful_authentication, it doesn't mess your application with lots of code .

Using Authlogic it's easy to understand and it's cleaner compare to that of Restful authentication .

If your application requires email activation then use the act_as_state machine plugin with authologic.

"It's worth spending time creating two applications using Authologic and Restful Authentication and select the best according to your needs :)"

Good luck!
