So I have created a user profile model the extends the User model. I
am having issues with trying to authenticate. So I gather some
information and and attempt to save it out but when I go to
authenticate shorty after, the auth.authenticate does not return a
user object therefore not logging the user in:
userprofile.address = request.POST['address']
userprofile.city = request.POST['city']
userprofile.state = request.POST['state']
userprofile.country = request.POST['country']
userprofile.website = request.POST['website']
userprofile.user.set_password(POST['password'])
userprofile.save()
user = auth.authenticate(username=POST['username'],
password=POST['password'])
if user is not None and user.is_active:
auth.login(request, user)
return HttpResponseRedirect(success_url)
So the problem that I have discovered is that when saving a password
to the user model is that you have to call an instance of the User
model to save a password and for authentication method to work
correctly. In the example above I try to save my password from the
userprofile instance through inheritance but it does not seem to save
the password.
So instead of this:
userprofile.user.set_password(POST['password'])
userprofile.save()
I have to call this separately:
django_user = User.objects.get(username__exact=POST['username'])
django_user.set_password(POST['password'])
django_user.save()
Authentication works perfectly on the latter method. Why would one
work but not the other?
