FAS Integration

Hi,

[1] is a script I wrote that will accept FAS username and password via
command-line arguments and tell you whether it authenticates or not.

# Usage:
$ ./checkpassword.rb <fas_username> <fas_password>

# Dependencies:
# rubygems
# libcurl-devel (required to gem install curb)
# curb - gem install curb

Gaurav, you can use code from this script to integrate with FAS.

You need to have this set as an option in app_settings.yml
If set, only users with FAS accounts can signup.

We might want to remove the email field from there and fetch that and
other such details about the user during signup.
But that's for later. :-)

Unless this is part of the specific deliverable it would be a good
idea to have such functionality as a pluggable means. Will help to
keep FSoC more generic rather than FAS-tied.

We plan to make it as a plugin.
Also authentication via FAS would be a part of settings and can be
switched on/off.
