If you are authenticating at the web server level (eg. HTTP Basic Auth) then you can use the RemoteUserMiddleware and RemoteUserBackend.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/auth-remote-user/ If you aren't, you probably need to duplicate what they're doing except authenticating against a remote database. I'd look at the code for the remote user classes if that were the case. -David On Mar 9, 1:24 pm, Tim Arnold <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I've read about the custom authentication you can do so you can use > upstream validators for your views.
