24494	Inconsistency in Documentation between Custom Authentication Backends and Custom Users	Alex Rothberg	nobody	"The docs for writing an authentication backend state:
>The get_user method takes a user_id – which could be a username, database ID or whatever, but has to be the primary key of your User object – and returns a User object.

whereas the docs for writing a custom user state:
>Django expects your custom User model to meet some minimum requirements.
>Your model must have an integer primary key.

I would expect that `username` need not be an integer but that seems to be disallowed by the user model spec."	Uncategorized	closed	Documentation	1.7	Normal	duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
