Haven't used restful auth in a long long time, but you should be able
to do exactly what a controller would do when setting a password:

user.password = 'imAdummy'
user.password_confirmation = 'imAdummy'
user.save!

--Hi Fred,

 

The users table has crypted_password, and salt columns which is giving me problems when I try to reset password from the console.After reading the documentation for restful authentication, it appears that the I need to store the hashed password in crypted_password field. Therefore, I approached the problem as follows:

 

Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.5)
>> require 'digest/sha1'
=> []
>> user=User.find_by_login('admin')
=> #<User id: 2, login: "admin", name: "", email: "admin@gmail.com", crypted_pas
sword: "b6fe78bbb5f6f1b2c7e6061a2e2a80bbdc538194", salt: "502d171c369fac51309dd9
1aea49c9cabe9eed20", created_at: "2010-05-17 08:54:44", updated_at: "2010-05-17
09:21:30", remember_token: nil, remember_token_expires_at: nil, admin: true>
>> user.crypted_password=Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("kramer")
=> "060938ead8dbea8fece5711eb89b8e097d79e8d5"
>> user.salt
=> "502d171c369fac51309dd91aea49c9cabe9eed20"
>> user.save
=> true
>> quit

 

Eventhough everything appears to go smoothly and also user.save returns "true", I am unable to login as admin. Have I overlooked something?

 

Thanks in advance for your help

 

Andrew
