Sounds like you're looking for a single-sign-on solution. What you can do is setup one application to have a REST API, and enable single sign on for it which the others can utilize to connect to it. Try looking at this railscast about Single Sign On using OpenID.

  • I assume you mean `devise` not `device`. Devise allows you to do authentication over http, but it isn't built with a corresponding client, so the nice helpers it provides won't work on the applications which don't store the user data out of the box. Try taking a look at [this article](http://blog.joshsoftware.com/2010/12/16/multiple-applications-with-devise-omniauth-and-single-sign-on/). Looks like this guy has figured out one way to use devise in an SSO setup. – Batkins Jan 11 '12 at 16:58
