Rails（ROR）和Salesforce

Question

I need to update salesforce (CRUD operation) from my ROR application. I tried with databasedotcom. It works good with client_ID and client_secret. My case is, I will not get client_ID and client_secret but I will get users salesforce credential(username/password+securitytoken) from user. how to proceed without client_ID and client_secret . Let me know if any other gem will work out for my scenario.

Source code

@@client = Databasedotcom::Client.new("config/databasedotcom.yml")
@@client.authenticate :username => username, :password => password+securitytoken
@@client.sobject_module =SFDC_Models
@@client.materialize('User')
@user =SFDC_Models::User.all
@@client.create("Account",account_attr)

SOLUTION

Salesforce-bulk gem is the solution. It uses username and password credential to interact with salesforce. Follow the below link
