Look at the documentation for authentication - don't use
User.objects.create() but User.objects.create_user(), as this takes
care of hashing the password.

problem with test client

[Ralph]

I am using Django 1.1 with Python 2.6.1 and have a problem with
testing
views that require a login. I was hoping someone could enlighten me
were
it all goes wrong

in the setup function of a unit test i am adding a user and create a
test client

User.objects.create(username='myuser', password='mypassword')
self.client = Client()

but get an AssertionError when i do this
self.assertEquals(self.client.login
(username='myuser',password='mypassword'), True)
as the login fails.

The User class in  django.auth.models in
the check_password method returns False. In line 182

is_correct = (self.password == get_hexdigest('md5', '', raw_password))

self.password is at this stage "mypassword" and will be
compared to a hexdigest so that the comparison will return False.
Authentification
works fine outside the tests. Is there anything in the settings
that I need to adjust to get this to work? Thanks
