Recently I've implemented LDAP auth backend by myself and was confused by
not being able to add change_password/set_password functionality without
adding custom User model. Actually I think it is very common to delegate
password validation to some external service, like LDAP, SMTP, HTTP, etc.
while keeping User model as is. Also, providing custom user model will
force all applications to reference settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL which is
definitely correct, but forcing to do even correct thing does not look
nice for me.
So, the thing I want to discuss is support of some special methods on auth
backends like
{{{#!python
""" user is for User model instance here, not username string """
def set_password(user, new_password):
pass
""" user is for User model instance here, not username string """
def change_password(user, old_password, new_password):
pass
}}}
User model to call auth backend methods if defined.
So do I miss anything? Is my proposal correct?
