+h1. "Restful Authentication Generator":http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication
+
+This widely-used plugin provides a foundation for securely managing user
+authentication:
+* Login / logout
+* Secure password handling
+* Account activation by validating email
+* Account approval / disabling by admin
+* Rudimentary hooks for authorization and access control.
+
+Several features were updated in May, 2008.
+* "Stable newer version":http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication/tree/master
+* "'Classic' (backward-compatible) version":http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication/tree/classic
+* "Experimental version":http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication/tree/modular (Much more modular, needs testing & review)
+
+  !! important: if you upgrade your site, existing user account !!
+  !! passwords will stop working unless you use --old-passwords !!

+h2. Exciting new features
+
+h3. Stories
+
+There are now "Cucumber":http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/home features that allow expressive, enjoyable tests for the
+authentication code. The flexible code for resource testing in stories was
+extended from "Ben Mabey's.":http://www.benmabey.com/2008/02/04/rspec-plain-text-stories-webrat-chunky-bacon/
+
+h3. Modularize to match security design patterns:
+
+* Authentication (currently: password, browser cookie token, HTTP basic)
+* Trust metric (email validation)
+* Authorization (stateful roles)
+* Leave a flexible framework that will play nicely with other access control / policy definition / trust metric plugins
+
+h3. Other
+
+* Added a few helper methods for linking to user pages
+* Uniform handling of logout, remember_token
+* Stricter email, login field validation
+* Minor security fixes -- see CHANGELOG
+
+***************************************************************************
+
+h2. Non-backwards compatible Changes
+
+Here are a few changes in the May 2008 release that increase "Defense in Depth"
+but may require changes to existing accounts
+
+* If you have an existing site, none of these changes are compelling enough to
+  warrant migrating your userbase.
+* If you are generating for a new site, all of these changes are low-impact.
+  You should apply them.
+
+h3. Passwords
+
+The new password encryption (using a site key salt and stretching) will break
+existing user accounts' passwords.  We recommend you use the --old-passwords
+option or write a migration tool and submit it as a patch.  See the
+[[Tradeoffs]] note for more information.
+
+h3. Validations
+
+By default, email and usernames are validated against a somewhat strict pattern; your users' values may be now illegal.  Adjust to suit.

+<a id="INSTALL"/> </a>
+h2. Installation
+
+This is a basic restful authentication generator for rails, taken from
+acts as authenticated.  Currently it requires Rails 1.2.6 or above.
+
+**IMPORTANT FOR RAILS > 2.1 USERS** To avoid a @NameError@ exception ("lighthouse tracker ticket":http://rails_security.lighthouseapp.com/projects/15332-restful_authentication/tickets/2-not-a-valid-constant-name-errors#ticket-2-2), check out the code to have an _underscore_ and not _dash_ in its name:
+* either use <code>git clone git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git restful_authentication</code>
+* or rename the plugin's directory to be <code>restful_authentication</code> after fetching it.
+
+To use the generator:
+
+  ./script/generate authenticated user sessions \
+    --include-activation \
+    --stateful \
+    --rspec \
+    --skip-migration \
+    --skip-routes \
+    --old-passwords
+
+* The first parameter specifies the model that gets created in signup (typically
+  a user or account model).  A model with migration is created, as well as a
+  basic controller with the create method. You probably want to say "User" here.
+
+* The second parameter specifies the session controller name.  This is the
+  controller that handles the actual login/logout function on the site.
+  (probably: "Session").
+
+* --include-activation: Generates the code for a ActionMailer and its respective
+  Activation Code through email.
+
+* --stateful: Builds in support for acts_as_state_machine and generates
+  activation code.  (@--stateful@ implies @--include-activation@). Based on the
+  idea at [[http://www.vaporbase.com/postings/stateful_authentication]]. Passing
+  @--skip-migration@ will skip the user migration, and @--skip-routes@ will skip
+  resource generation -- both useful if you've already run this generator.
+  (Needs the "acts_as_state_machine plugin":http://elitists.textdriven.com/svn/plugins/acts_as_state_machine/,
+  but new installs should probably run with @--aasm@ instead.)
+
+* --aasm: Works the same as stateful but uses the "updated aasm gem":http://github.com/rubyist/aasm/tree/master
+
+* --rspec: Generate RSpec tests and Stories in place of standard rails tests.
+  This requires the
+    "RSpec and Rspec-on-rails plugins":http://rspec.info/
+  (make sure you "./script/generate rspec" after installing RSpec.)  The rspec
+  and story suite are much more thorough than the rails tests, and changes are
+  unlikely to be backported.
+
+* --old-passwords: Use the older password scheme (see [[#COMPATIBILITY]], above)
+
+* --skip-migration: Don't generate a migration file for this model
+
+* --skip-routes: Don't generate a resource line in @config/routes.rb@
+

+h2. After installing
+
+The below assumes a Model named 'User' and a Controller named 'Session'; please
+alter to suit. There are additional security minutae in @notes/README-Tradeoffs@
+-- only the paranoid or the curious need bother, though.
+
+* Add these familiar login URLs to your @config/routes.rb@ if you like:
+
+    <pre><code>
+    map.signup  '/signup', :controller => 'users',   :action => 'new'
+    map.login  '/login',  :controller => 'session', :action => 'new'
+    map.logout '/logout', :controller => 'session', :action => 'destroy'
+    </code></pre>
+
+* With @--include-activation@, also add to your @config/routes.rb@:
+
+    <pre><code>
+    map.activate '/activate/:activation_code', :controller => 'users', :action => 'activate', :activation_code => nil
+    </code></pre>
+
+  and add an observer to @config/environment.rb@:
+
+    <pre><code>
+    config.active_record.observers = :user_observer
+    </code></pre>
+
+  Pay attention, may be this is not an issue for everybody, but if you should
+  have problems, that the sent activation_code does match with that in the
+  database stored, reload your user object before sending its data through email
+  something like:
+
+    <pre><code>
+    class UserObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
+      def after_create(user)
+        user.reload
+        UserMailer.deliver_signup_notification(user)
+      end
+      def after_save(user)
+        user.reload
+        UserMailer.deliver_activation(user) if user.recently_activated?
+      end
+    end
+    </code></pre>
+
+
+* With @--stateful@, add an observer to config/environment.rb:
+
+    <pre><code>
+    config.active_record.observers = :user_observer
+    </code></pre>
+
+  and modify the users resource line to read
+
+    map.resources :users, :member => { :suspend   => :put,
+                                       :unsuspend => :put,
+                                       :purge     => :delete }
+
+* If you use a public repository for your code (such as github, rubyforge,
+  gitorious, etc.) make sure to NOT post your site_keys.rb (add a line like
+  '/config/initializers/site_keys.rb' to your .gitignore or do the svn ignore
+  dance), but make sure you DO keep it backed up somewhere safe.
