Hi,

you can add 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend' to the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS and use a local user.

or
if you like to use the "REMOTE_USER" set up nginx with auth_basic and proxy on your local instance:

location / {
        auth_basic "Restricted";
        auth_basic_user_file /...PATH.../.htpasswd;
        proxy_set_header REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}

in this case you get the  user in "HTTP_REMOTE_USER"

if you like you can make the same configuration with uwsgi and nginx :

uwsgi_pass  unix:///tmp/demo.sock;
include     uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;

and in this case you get the correct header parameter "REMOTE_USER"


Cheers
Jürgen

Hi,

On my production server, I'm using REMOTE_USER <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/auth-remote-user/> to provide SSO for an internal service. It works great on the production server. However, when running 'runserver' on the development side, this variable is not set so authentication in this manner doesn't work. Is there a way to config this on the development side so I can develop as if it were in place?

thanks
