I wanted to implement it for my <strong>Open Translation</strong> project.</p> <p>However, when I tried to find tutorials for using Clickpass with a Rails app, I couldn&rsquo;t find any! How could it be! The pesudo code example Clickpass provided was for Java, I think, and thus it wasn&rsquo;t any help to me. I was completely lost.</p> <p>Then I realized that in the core underlying architecture of Clickpass is OpenID. Then it all made sense to me. I found a great tutorial on OpenID and Authlogic on a <a href="http://railscasts.com/episodes/170-openid-with-authlogic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Railscasts episode</a> (I am not using Authlogic for my site, though, but for the Open Translation project, I probably will.). So the following is a mixture of the Railscasts episode, <strong>ruby-openid</strong> gem, <strong>open_id_authentication</strong> plugin and Clickpass setup.</p> <p><strong>1.</strong> Install the gem and the plugin.</p> <div class="highlight-wrapper"><div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-text" data-lang="text"><span class="line"><span class="cl">sudo gem install ruby-openid</span></span></code></pre></div></div>
