20589	contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi fails for some backends	Andre Bell	nobody	"In contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi authentication is implemented with a check_password function, which in turn is based on ""user.check_password"". However, this forces a check of the given password against the password stored in the database.

For some backends like, e.g. django_auth_ldap, no usable password is stored in the database. Thus, this check will fail.

Therefore the function should be implemented using a call to ""authenticate"", which will correctly verify the given password against the different authentication backends."	Bug	new	contrib.auth	1.5	Normal		handlers, modwsgi	bmispelon@…	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
