Security and Identity: Ruby, CAS, and OpenID
summary
Title claims that central auth fixes repetition and UX problems and the demo shows it: Rails apps typically store credentials locally so 90% of Rails apps end up duplicating auth. The demo uses the Ruby OpenID gem + restful_authentication_with_openid and yadas to create an OpenID login that auto‑creates a user row OpenID creates user record with no password, and a ruby‑cas‑server (0.5) written in Camping that runs over SSL so two separate Rails apps get invisible SSO via CAS tickets ruby-cas-server written in Camping and it works live.
