You shouldn't be trying to call the authenticate() method on your custom backend, you should be calling django.contrib.auth.authenticate, with whatever usernames/tokens/etc you have to provide. Django's auth system will iterate through its backends, as defined in settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS, calling each of them in turn until one of them returns something other than None. See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#writing-an-authentication-backendfor more details. I still think you are directly calling a function called authenticate() that is not django.contrib.auth.authenticate()..
