On a related note, I ran into a situation where I needed to login a user automatically, without knowing the plaintext password. So I did:
the_user.backend='django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend' login(request, the_user) ...and skipped the usage of authenticate(). If this is a terrible idea, somebody tell me please. :-) Shev --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
