Right?
There is no problem at all, except you need to:
(a) write your own hook for validating the password in the application
using the database B, but will access the credentials in A. Either you
can define A in django itself or through plain Python itself, you can
access it.
(b) Note that the password will be (and should be) stored encrypted
and 'normally' you will be in no position to 'decode' the original
password. Whatever password is entered while using the application
will be subject to same encryption and the result will be compared
with what is in the database for allowing the login. Hopefully this
mechanism is still OK for you.
Cheers.

Hi,
I want to allow users to add credentials to th site that allow us to
pull details ffrom anothr site into our environment.
This will mean that their credentials will need to be useable by a
regular process that will fetch the data but it is stored securely.
I was thinking about using the same storage mechanisim for the
passwords
that django offers but I am not sure how one would then allow a
process
in the application to use those credentials to aces the otehr site.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to accomplish this?
