Description

This is a patch against [4649]. It allows users to log in with Basic HTTP Authentication i.s.o. login forms using some simple middleware (entire patch is ~50 lines). I was unaware of http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/GenericAuthorization so I'm not sure about its usefulness in the long run.

You can enable it by including 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.BasicAuthenticationMiddleware' in your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and then adding the following lines in your settings.py:

BASIC_WWW_AUTHENTICATION = True

WWW_AUTHENTICATION_REALM = "djangolures.com"

  • needs_better_patch changed.
  • component changed from Admin interface to Contrib apps.
  • needs_tests changed.
  • needs_docs changed.

The component-selectbox seems to be missing a middleware option? I guess 'contrib apps' is more appropriate for the moment.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.

I think this isn't quite appropriate for direct inclusion in Django (but you might want to post it to http://djangosnippets.org/ in case anyone else finds it useful).
