Exactly.
DB authentication and user authentication are separate things. Users authenticate
against Django. Full stop. Django> accesses the database using login data you
provide on settings.py.
That's why I asked. I want to dynamically modifiy DB settings in
settings.py after user logged in with user credentials.
You could write a callable function to provide different database
settings after Django has started but I suspect those settings are
cached at startup. Might be a bit tricky to interfere with that.
OTOH if there are only a limited number of DBs you could put them all in
settings.py and switch between them based on the collected credentials.
So far I have a Delphi app that asks user for username and password.
After he enters it and hits Enter, the application tries to connect to
the database with the provided credentials. All the permissions are
managed at database levels.
I want to remove Delphi app with Django app, so I need to login to
database with user credentials.
Delphi usually produces PC programs which rely on the Windows eco-system
while Django doesn't. Not sure what you are trying to do. Can you
describe your system?
Can you point me to the docs that deal with it?
Thanks.
