Hello,
I'm working on a ROR app that allows users to track batch computing jobs
submitted to our high performance computing clusters. Anyway, a piece of
functionality to that application is an online file browser to the
server.
Net, I have a need to authenticate users to the Server's OS (I was
thinking using Net:SSH). Then, once authenticated, I'd like to run some
ruby commands as that user vs. the 'non-priviledged user the webserver
is running under.
Is this possible? Any ideas?
The user will authenticate by providing their OS username and password?
Perhaps you could use PTY.spawn and run 'su - username'
.
