If I understand correctly, you want the ordinary users to login to the
admin login page. That is not how it works.
You need to specify a url that will point to django.contrib.auth.views
if you want to use the built-in authentication framework. I use /
accounts just to keep it clean.
#urls.py
(r'^accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
Now you can just provide the templates in a folder named registration/
in your template directory to display your forms. Note that this
includes all of the views like logout, password change, etc. If you
just want to use the login, you can do it like below, in which you may
also specify the templates in urls.py:
#urls.py
(r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login',
{'template_name': 'myapp/login.html'}),
