I'm using a custom user model that extends `AbstractBaseUser`. This is the
user model:
class cUser(AbstractBaseUser):
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
pass
role_id = models.IntegerField()
user_id = models.IntegerField()
email = models.CharField(max_length=40)
password = models.CharField(max_length=40)
f_name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
l_name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
address_id = models.IntegerField()
phone_num = models.IntegerField()
loan_item_count = models.IntegerField()
id = models.IntegerField(unique = True, primary_key = True)
def __init__(self, dictionary, *args, **kwargs):
self.role_id = int(dictionary['role_id'])
self.user_id = dictionary['user_id']
self.email = dictionary['email']
self.password = dictionary['password']
self.f_name = dictionary['f_name']
self.l_name = dictionary['l_name']
self.address_id = dictionary['address_id']
self.phone_num = dictionary['phone_num']
self.loan_item_count = dictionary['loan_item_count']
self.id = self.user_id
USERNAME_FIELD = 'user_id'
class Meta:
managed = False
I don't want the model to affect the DB in any way. I'm loading it by a
simple raw SQL query from a gateway method.
This is how I'm handling login:
def login_request(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = LoginForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = userGateway(username,password)
if user is not None:
print("=========USER==========")
print(user.email)
user.backend = 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend'
login(request,user)
print(request.user.is_authenticated)
if user.role_id==1:
return render(request, 'biblioteca/admin/landing.html')
# return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
return render(request, 'biblioteca/landing.html')
else:
print("=========NOT USER==========")
else:
if(request.user is not None and not request.user.is_anonymous):
return render(request, 'biblioteca/admin/landing.html')
form = LoginForm()
return render(request, 'biblioteca/login.html', {'form': form})
As you can see, I'm setting the back-end before login to authenticate
without having to pass through a password - the password check is being
done when the user object is created by comparing the password passed in
with the password retrieved from the DB. The first check,
print(request.user.is_authenticated)
returns true, as expected. If I then return a render, the user object is
still there. However, if I leave this page, or if I return a redirect
instead, the user object becomes anonymous.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
