Hi, On my site users must login with their email address. I'm successfully using a custom authentication backend based on [1].
The problem is with email addresses longer than 30 characters. At the moment, these addresses can't log in because the django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm's username field has a maxlength of 30 and therefore validation always fails before even hitting the auth backend. To go around that, I can see 2 options: - patch Django and put 75 as the AuthenticationForm username field's max_length. - create my own login view (duplicating the standard auth login view and replacing all the references to AuthenticationForm with my own custom form). None of these 2 options seem to satisfy me completely... What do you think is the best practice here? Thanks a lot, Julien PS: I'm using a fresh checkout of newforms-admin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
