Custom authentication strategy for devise

by

I found this very helpful snippet in this thread on the devise google group

initializers/some_initializer.rb: 

Warden::Strategies.add(:custom_strategy_name) do 
  def valid? 
    # code here to check whether to try and authenticate using this strategy; 
    return true/false 
  end 

  def authenticate! 
    # code here for doing authentication; 
    # if successful, call  
    success!(resource) # where resource is the whatever you've authenticated, e.g. user;
    # if fail, call 
    fail!(message) # where message is the failure message 
  end 
end

add following to initializers/devise.rb 

  config.warden do |manager| 
     manager.default_strategies.unshift :custom_strategy_name 
  end
