I've setup my authentication system to use the standard name/password with good results, but some of the users are coming directly from Google Apps with an OpenID I've authenticated by hand. What I'd like is if they are authenticated from Google Apps, I can just call auth_login, but they haven't actually been "authenticated" in django's eyes. All I'd like to do is log in as if they had typed their username and password. If I just try to logon the user, I get an error saying the "backend" hasn't been set. Right now I can hack a login by setting the backend to the same one used by the other method, but when I go to the another tab and go back to the site, I see that I'm not actually logged in on that page, like something isn't stored in the session correctly. This seems like it should be a simple problem, but it's extremely frustrating. I'd just like to say, "Hey, I trust this person, log them in even though I don't know their password".
