I have a PostgreSQL database that I access from various locations, and would like to add an interface with Ruby on Rails 3. For authentication I need to login users with the same credentials used to create them directly in the database; is there a way to make Rails connect to the database each time with different username/password, based on the current user? Thanks for any hints!

Yes. Use a custom authentication on devise that makes a query to the underlying postgresql database. See: Custom authentication strategy for devise I would certainly add some kind of filter to reduce the list of users that can authenticate this way. |
