The Qt app talks to the server with web requests routed to python code by falcon. It currently has no authentication/authorization of any kind. It's not a web app, you can't just navigate to any page, you can only get to parts of the app the code lets you get to.
The way I envision it (if possible) is that I would have a decorator just like @login_required, and if that is called and the user is not logged in, it would invoke the django login page - just like it works in django. I think I can do most of this, the part I am unclear on is how I get control from the django login page back to the Qt app. On Mon, Apr 25, 2016 at 5:26 PM, Gergely Polonkai <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > this all depends on how this Qt app communicates with the other end (server > side).
