What is the best way to read the Rails session secret?
For Rails4
Rails.configuration.secret_tokenRails.configuration.secret_key_base
For Rails3
Rails.configuration.secret_token
But if for Rails2.x, like Don Parish mentioned
ActionController::Base.session_options[:secret]
Thanks, Jake.
Since the secret doesn't change based on the request or the action, this also works:
ActionController::Base.session_options_for(nil,nil)[:secret]
ActionController::Base.session_options_for(request,params[:action])[:secret]
