OK. But you mustn't import that class, you must allow django to import it itself, and then django will use it when authenticating users. You do this by specifying the class in settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS, and then calling the function authenticate() in your view, which you should import from django.contrib.auth. You are trying to call the method authenticate on your auth backend directly. Do not do this, it is incorrect. It is because of this you are getting the error "'User' object has no attribute 'backend'". Please notice the difference between the **function** authenticate() and the **method** authenticate() on your auth backend. Your view should look like the view linked below: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/auth/default/#how-to-log-a-user-in Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
