For plugins, I would like to suggest: authlogic_google_oauth authlogic_facebook authlogic_hotmail authlogic_amazon For an application, i would like to suggest an "dummy" application that offers the ability to login using the credentials of any of, say, 6 authentication methods (Google, Facebook, Hotmail, Yahoo, Amazon, and OpenID), and then displays the email address of the person that logged in at the top of the protected page. The application would also create a new User (keyed by email address) for first time registrants. Hi Ben.

As easy and "logic" Authlogic is, it would became even easier and faster to work with! =D Congratulatios on that! That would be great!!!

I'd like to see an add-on for "forgot my password" functionality. That's a little thing, but always a pain to add. If there was a way you could generate (or bypass the need for generating) all of this stuff: http://www.binarylogic.com/2008/11/16/tutorial-reset-passwords-with-authlogic ...that would be lovely.

One thing that would be great is to beef up the tutorials. Two tutorials that would be really helpful: How to verify old password when changing the password. How to send a confirmation email, and require the user to verify registration on sign up Yes, authlogic is a breath of fresh air. One thing that would be great is to beef up the tutorials.

I was about to deploy a new app using restful auth and decided to nuke all the libs and start with this one instead. So congrats, you've convinced me :) Few plugins I can think of: - Email verification (disabling auto login on new user creation, email user link to verify) - Forgot password - Remember me - ACL integration (maybe rails-authentication?

I can't explain how great it will be to have facebook-connect integration plugin. I'm working on a project now using Facebooker and Authlogic... Now... I got it working... but it's only creating the sessions after being authenticated by Facebooker, which is a lot of bloat just for authentication. I def would be more then willing to extend support in that direction as much as I can! Have a timeline for these? Thank! Omar Ben,

There are already tons of approaches to this, but it'd be nice to see one cohesive authentication approach that includes this. :) authlogic_subdomain_accounts

Check out the "scoping" section in the authlogic readme. It comes how to scope to your sessions by domains and its pretty simple. Thanks everyone for your responses:

Worked great for the most part, but I was tripped up a bit by an issue I mentioned in your post on using authlogic with openid. Basically, the way you suggested using it implies that the authentication information could be in the params hash. For facebook connect, it is in the cookies. For other methods, it could be in a header, or some other part of the request. This sounds like a great development. In fact, I'd love to see versions of platform-specific libraries like facebooker that let go of dealing with authentication and just leave that to other authentication-specific libraries like authlogic.
