Hello all,

Internally, we have some RoR apps and Django apps. Our main website
runs on Django and is considered to be the main portal for all other
apps. Currently, we have a Rails authentication system and a Django
authentication system. We want to have one user table to authorize
against.

The only problem I see is that the password stored in auth_user is
salted and hashed and impossible to get at because the salt is not
saved. How can I use the django auth_user in Ruby On Rails?

I have found this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/apache-auth/
but I don't know if that will work on the ruby server. Both ror and
django applications that we want to authenticate are on the same
server and use the same db (except our main website which is on
webfaction - but that's a different story I will tackle later -
possibly replication?).

So, anyone know how to a) access the raw string from auth_user or b)
set up ruby (or other language and extrapolate) to properly interpret
the password hash?

Thanks for listening.

Greg
