I believe you'll need a custom authentication backend to tie in with your user model.
Take a look at the docs here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/authbackends/ Here's an example of an auth backend that takes email/password instead of username/password: https://github.com/dabapps/django-email-as-username/blob/master/emailusernames/backends.py Hope that helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
