Defined in:

Overview

Strategy for signing in a user, based on a authenticatable token. This works for both params and http. For the former, all you need to do is to pass the params in the URL:

http://myapp.example.com/?user_token=SECRET

For headers, you can use basic authentication passing the token as username and blank password. Since some clients may require a password, you can pass “X” as password and it will simply be ignored.

You may also pass the token using the Token authentication mechanism provided by Rails: api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/HttpAuthentication/Token.html The token options are stored in request.env
