You're basically after Single Sign On right? Since we handle all this at the Nginx level, it wouldn't be do-able with that setup. But, what I could see (I'm theorizing) is that you actually create a Rails route for "/blog", and if the user going to that has authenticated in your Rails app, you could pass that info on to Wordpress via headers, or even have your controller action that handles the /blog route do a login form post on Wordpress (but this wouldn't necessarily handle then taking the user to a particular requested blog page, etc.). Maybe there are SSO modules for WordPress you could integrate?Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14204551800123292694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29194345.post-28603981561511904162008-10-16T11:46:00.000-07:002008-10-16T11:46:00.000-07:00Chris, did you ever try to integrate the authentication of the remote WordPress installation with the rails app? I'm looking at doing pretty much the same thing (EY rails app, WP blog hosted externally but in namespace of rails app) but I'm not thrilled with the prospect of requiring a second Userid/password for my users -the blog and the rails app are to be very tightly linked and two auth systems smells.Chrishttp://cch1.myopenid.com/noreply@blogger.com
