Re: tweaking auth, making usernames unique within a company
Yes!
The idea being using dynamic subdomains as the entry point into a mult-
tenant application. Each tenant, or company, should have their own
unique sets of usernames.
Any suggestions on how you'd do that without hacking User? username is
set to "unique=True" so the only thing I can see is that we generate a
fake username for User that's never exposed or used programmatically.
That seems like an uglier workaround than modifying the base User
though.

Re: tweaking auth, making usernames unique within a company
do you mean that you want someone to be able to have a duplicate
username as long as they are at a different company ?
if so, why ? maybe that requirement should just be worked around.
but there is certainly a way to do it without hacking User.
