Log the user in. auth_login(request, form.get_user()) if request.session.test_cookie_worked(): request.session.delete_test_cookie() return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_to) were changed to this: # Okay, security checks complete. Log the user in. auth_login(request, form.get_user()) form.after_login_hook(request) if request.session.test_cookie_worked(): request.session.delete_test_cookie() return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_to) (and, django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm, add def after_login_hook(self, request): pass ) To allow for people who want to affect the session after login. The use case I just wanted it for is is adding a ""remember me"" checkbox. I can add it to the form easily enough, but since the form doesn't have access to the session, I also have to duplicate the view." closed contrib.auth 1.2 wontfix Unreviewed 1 0 0 0 0 0
