Hi, I need to develop several django projects (let's assume that there are highly different one from each other). The common thing is users/groups data. If a user register into one of this sites, he should be able to use this same account credentials for all other sites.
I really didn't find any obvious solution to this problem: 1) Keeping everything in one database (single django project) - not possible, every of a project is big enough to be worth keeping separate, also using something like SITES (not really an issue here) would provide do keeping data of all separate projects in one big database, what will cause a problems with maintenance (backuping everything together, etc.) 2) Using django multiple database support - this would be great to put auth models into seperate common database, but django does not officially support multidatabase foreign key relations - making this useless. Any model with relation to auth.User would not be supported this way (in my projects almost every thing is somehow conneted to the user so this is dead end for me). 3) Using several databases and keeping auth tables in sync by external tool - very, very error prone. Writing something that deals with coherency problem will be very difficult, and there also will be a delay between sync's of databases in several projects - not really acceptable - user data should be stored in one point. 4) Creating central authorization point with Profiles, and make custom django authorization module that would work exaclty like OpenID authorization. But this still do not solve problem of NOT having multiple accounts in several django projects (even connected to one central Profile).
