Hi, I'm writing an own auth backend at the moment, but I need access to the request object. I found a possible solution with adding settings.request = request into a middleware, but that's seems not beautilful to me.
My backend is something like this at the moment, to check the hash I need the clientname (REMOTE_HOST doesn't work): class MyRemoteUserBackend: def authenticate(self, sKey, user): username = user user = None if self.create_unknown_user and check_hash(username, sKey): user, created = User.objects.get_or_create(username=username) if created: user = self.configure_user(user) return user def clean_username(self, username): return username def configure_user(self, user): user.is_staff = False # fetch userinfo from server ... user.save() return user def check_hash(self, username, sKey): from time import time import socket clientname = socket.gethostbyaddr( request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'] )[0] if clientname == '': clientname = 'nil' # check hash and return boolean Somebody has a nice solution for this? thx, Florian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
