Rafter to Ridge Beam connection

[pixxyco]

Hi, just about to start putting my cut roof on a single story extension. I'm having a vaulted/cathedral roof, with a glulam beam as the ridge beam taking the load.
I'm cutting the rafters (5" x 2") so about 2" sits on top of the beam and 3" butts up against it. Not sure best practice for fastening the rafter to the beam, 2 x 4" nails or screws (or more) skewed from either side, or using the Simpson Ridge to rafter brackets.
Seems simple thing to find out but just try googling it!

Any help appreciated.
Cheers

I pilot hole first with a 6mm habour and then skew nail.

Thanks Catlad, would you put just 2 nails one either side, or 4 in 2"x5" rafters.
Cheers

3 maybe 4 if I felt there was enough room.
