Manual login user with devise

Question

Can anyone give an example or link to tutorial how can be implemented manual signin for users and get session_id.

I am porting an application from Rails 2 to Rails 3, that used before RestAuthentication. The new app uses devise, and I already managed to fix the sign-in/sign-out for admins. The application has one more model (users) that need to be authenticated.

I need to get session_id in order to pass it in the response, because the client is not browser, but mobile device.

Any links, ideas and examples are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I used token id instead of session id. The token is re-generated each time when the session is expired or user log-outs.
