When using additional custom authentication backend (for crypt-like
password hashes) I am getting such error from Django authentication
backend if it is first in the order:
{{{
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/contrib/auth/models.py" in
check_password
40. algo, salt, hsh = enc_password.split('$')
Exception Type: ValueError at /admin/
Exception Value: too many values to unpack
}}}
This is normal, as crypt-based password hashes have one more `$` in there.
But I would like that Django backend is first so that it is tries first as
most of the users are using Django authentication backend.
I am proposing that this exception is simply catched and authentication
backend returns `None`. I am attaching a patch for this.
