ruby on rails - Cross site session creation with Devise -


i'm working on project uses sessions manage logged in user slight twist, there no log in form on actual application. instead, site provide button should log in user , redirect profile page.

for example, customer viewing profile on site a, 3rd party application. profile on site click on button should log them in site b , redirect profile on site b, site i'm building.

i'm unfamiliar security concerns case this. initial thought if site posts via https user's email address , password, should work if filling form out on site, site b.

what security concerns missing here or not work @ all?

note: 3rd party site out of hands , i'll never convince team setup sort of oauth protocol, or @ least going take unacceptably long. plus, oauth, @ least understanding method accept requests number of 3rd parties. no other site except sitea ever attempt log people in.

this sounds typical application oauth provider.

get overview , grasp concept here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/oauth

there exists oauth providers in ruby, don't have yourself: e.g. https://github.com/songkick/oauth2-provider.

but if wanna without, let other server generate hash containing users id (can username, email, or database id), random token, current timestamp , sign using messageverifier. can check on server if timestamp within range (some minutes) , if message verifies (using same key naturally). if so, accept user.

if other site uses php, might have rebuild generate method in php. find source in ruby here.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
