Update 17th July 2009: Some of the code I wrote in this video is now live at my Notes application.
So.. How fast can you implement OpenID using Ruby on Rails without having tried it before?
This is to document how fast it is to implement new things using Rails, even if you haven’t tried it before. I had never tried the Rails OpenID plugin before so this is a documentation of my first shot — I did it in less than an hour :-)
Check it out – and please bare with me as I do a lot of thinking where the screen just stands still.. and I have a couple of breaks during this hour.
Please note: In the video I set “attr_accessible … :identity_url” to be able to create a user using User.create(:identity_url => identity_url). This of cause is a potential security issue where a malicious user could set the identity URL manually. Please remember to remove :identity_url from attr_accessible if you use this in real life. Thanks.
