Hello
I'm creating a Django frontend for a legacy school system. The legacy system
has users, but usernames are only unique together with a school:
class LegacyUser(models.Model):
school = models.ForeignKey(School)
username = models.CharField(max_length=40)
class Meta:
unique_together = ['school', 'username']
I need to authenticate users using their school name, username and password, so
I can serve them data connected to the LegacyUser. The legacy system provides
an authentication service that I want to use to verify the password.
The Django authentication model seems to revolve around the username being
unique, so I can't just inherit the User model, login forms etc. How do I get
the School shoe-horned into the Django auth framework, and where do I call the
external authentication service? Some ideas how to best accomplish this would
be great!
Thanks,
Erik
