User authentication support for Rails, NOT authorization

Question

Which authentication plugin for Rails would you choose? I'm not interested in the permissions, roles and other authorization stuff.

I'm interested in the:

• user model/controllers generation
• predefined components to support various ways of authentication (HTML form, OpenID) with various back-end (database, LDAP, textfile).

I'm looking for something similar to the Java Spring Security (formerly Acegi) but for Rails platform.

Kind regards.

Check out Authlogic. It's incredibly flexible and simple to get started.

Clearance

Devise (Rack-based)
