#Simple Authentication with Bcrypt

This tutorial is for adding authentication to a vanilla Ruby on Rails app using Bcrypt and has_secure_password.

The steps below are based on Ryan Bates's approach from Railscast #250 Authentication from Scratch (revised).

You can see the final source code here: repo. I began with a stock rails app using rails new gif_vault

Bootstrap 3.0 in Rails without a Gem

What is Bootstrap?

It's a collection of CSS styles and Javascript add-ons that stop your site from looking like a shitty craigslist rip off from 1996. Seriously, who wants that?

Docs: CSS, Components, Javascript

Why Install It This Way?

Finding the right gem, keeping it updated, and learning the syntax is a pain in the ass. Why not install Bootstrap the way you'd install new javascript libraries?

My largest Sidekiq application had a memory leak and I was able to find and fix it in just few hours spent on analyzing Ruby's heap. In this post I'll show my profiling setup.

As you might know Ruby 2.1 introduced a few great changes to ObjectSpace, so now it's much easier to find a line of code that is allocating too many objects. Here is great post explaining how it's working.

I was too lazy to set up some seeding and run it locally, so I checked that test suite passes when profiling is enabled and pushed debugging to production. Production environment also suited me better since my jobs data can't be fully random generated.

So, in order to profile your worker, add this to your Sidekiq configuration:

if ENV["PROFILE"]

Setting up and installing rbenv, ruby-build, rubies, rbenv-gemset, and bundler

This guide enables you to install (ruby-build) and use (rbenv) multiple versions of ruby, isolate project gems (gemsets and/or bundler), and automatically use appropriate combinations of rubies and gems.

TL;DR Demo

# Ensure system is in ship-shape.

aptitude install git zsh libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev

	# To enable SSL in Rails you could now simply use force_ssl in your
	# ApplicationController but there is two more things to think about:
	# In development our SSL webserver is running on port 3001 so we would
	# actually need to use force_ssl port: 3001 but then this wouldn't
	# work for production.
	# Also there is a good chance you might not always want to use SSL in development
	# so it would be nice if we could just enable or disable SSL in the config.

	# To make all this work first copy the file ssl_with_configured_port.rb to
	# your lib directory. Second to enable SSL add config.use_ssl = true


	# 1) Create your private key (any password will do, we remove it below)

	$ cd ~/.ssh
	$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.orig.key 2048


	# 2) Remove the password

	$ openssl rsa -in server.orig.key -out server.key

	client = Savon::Client.new do
	# This can be a URL also
	wsdl.document = "/Path/to/your.wsdl"

	# These are optional, only if your WSDL sucks :)
	wsdl.endpoint = "https://your_endpoint"
	wsdl.namespace = "http://your_namespace"

	certs = Akami::WSSE::Certs.new :cert_file => "/path/to/cert.crt", :private_key_file => "/path/to/private/key.pem", :private_key_password => "password"
	wsse.sign_with = Akami::WSSE::Signature.new certs

	dir.up { change_column :posts, :name, :text }
	dir.down { change_column :posts, :name, :string }
