Active Admin authentication conflicting with User authentication

Question

Answer 1

I was able to solve this. The issue was related to Devise expecting a single user model in the application. Here is how to fix it.

In the config/initializers/devise.rb file, add:

config.scoped_views = true

and

config.default_scope = :user #or whichever is your regular default user model

thats it, warden checks the :user for being logged in and not :admin_user

Answer 2

What worked for me is:

constraint = lambda { |request| request.env["warden"].authenticate? and request.env['warden'].user.instance_of?(AdminUser) }

Answer 3

I am not sure, but you can try something like

root :to => proc { |env| [ 302, {'Location'=> env["warden"].authenticate? ? "users/dashboard" : "/home" }, [] ] }

Answer 4

Why are you using the get "/"? You should remove it. I'm using a definition pretty similar to yours and works fine with me. Use just:

root :to => 'users#dashboard', :constraints => lambda {|r| r.env["warden"].authenticate? }
root :to => 'home#index'
