First off, I'm using Django 1.1. I've been having problems getting my custom authentication backend to work, specifically in the "admin" site.
I've been using this page as guide to put together an auth backend that uses my subclass of the User model to authenticate. http://scottbarnham.com/blog/2008/08/21/extending-the-django-user-model-with-inheritance/ I will post all code below, but for the moment here is the problem. I'm trying to log into the django admin site and I'm getting an exception on "check_password()" that shows me that the admin login system is using the User.check_password() rather than my subclass' check_password(). I'm working with an existing database here and I don't want to change my password hashing scheme if I don't have to. The thing that's driving me crazy is that the admin site doesn't seem to be using my User subclass. Is there something I'm forgetting/missing here? Thanks for any help anyone has to offer. Here is all relevant code (if there is something I'm forgetting, do let me know): settings.py ------------------------------ ... ...
