I am trying to use couchdb as the backend for my application. The database instance is exposed via a webservice which has authentication methods.
I am using in memory cache and in memory sessions as we do not have a relational database. For authenticating against couch, I have written custom authentication backend. The code for my login method: if SESSION_KEY in request.session: if request.session[SESSION_KEY] != user.id: request.session.flush() else: request.session.cycle_key() request.session[SESSION_KEY] = user.id request.session[BACKEND_SESSION_KEY] = user.backend request.user = user user is a custom object here which does not derive from Dj\ango's auth User class. On subsequent requests, request.user is anonymous user. What am I missing? However, I can get my user if I save it in the session manually. but I am worried how that will affect by ability tp use other Django/third party modules. I am new to both Python and Django and I am sure this is something obvious. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
