This isn't such a roadblock. There are many places in Django where
you can ignore the abstractions and use the low level code. In less
than 5 minutes, I wrote my own login/logout methods and called out to
the basic auth methods when needed:
from django.contrib import auth
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def login(request):
if request.POST:
username = request.POST.get('username', None)
password = request.POST.get('password', None)
user = auth.authenticate(username=username,password=password)
if user :
if not user.isactive:
return render_to_response('user/login.html'
{'message':'This account is not
active.'})
auth.login(request, user)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
return render_to_response('user/login.html',
{'message':'Please enter a username and password.'})
def logout(request):
auth.logout(request)
return HttpReponseRedirect('/')
