You can qualify a filter with :only or :except.

before_filter :filter_name, :except => [:action1, :action2]

Or if the filter (as I now see is the case in your situation) is defined in ApplicationController and you want to bypass it in a subclass controller, you can use a skip_before_filter with the same qualifications in the subclass controller:

skip_before_filter :filter_name, :except => [:action1, :action2]
