Description
There's are some substantial documents in /topics/auth/, but there isn't a step-by-step tutorial or how-to.
There's a need for it in the official documentation, because:
- it's worthwhile getting users started on the right track, so that they don't find themselves doing it insecurely or incorrectly
- there are plenty of questions on the subject on StackOverflow and elsewhere
- there are numerous (often out-of-date or incomplete) weblog articles circulating on the subject
Probably a how-to is more appropriate than a tutorial.

We could better document django.contrib.auth.urls
url('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls'),
And give an example view that uses UserCreationForm

All I got to was an really rough outline:
- login view - login form - login template - login url - login_required - logout view - create view - create form - create template - create url

I am working on writing up this tutorial. I have a rough draft ready here: https://github.com/harisibrahimkv/django/blob/3cbcca57465f0dbdf5265b0b80d0bf307ed4505e/docs/topics/auth/tutorial.txt
This is my first time and I am not sure what exactly needs to go in there.
Looking for feedback.
