Devise replaces Authlogic for user authentication
Ticket #742 replaces Authlogic with the latest Devise (4.3.0) which has wider adoption.
This change requires a database migration on the User model. Please note:
- Most User fields are renamed and can hence be rolled back. Existing Authlogic passwords will continue to work.
- Users will be forced logged out. Existing user sessions will not be kept and the fields
persistence_token, single_access_token, perishable_token
will be dropped from the database. - Though the migration is generally safe we recommend to make a backup of your database before migrating.
Existing OAuth broken
The Devise change will break any OAuth login plugins which depend on Authlogic.
You can configure OAuth for Devise using the guides here.
Login and user-related routes changed
The login URL routes have been changed to use the defaults of Devise.
User mailers changed
Mailers related to user password reset, etc. are changed to use the defaults of Devise.
