Description (last modified by )
Hello Django Team, Thanks for creating such powerful framework and making it open. For one of my projects i wanted to let users login with OTP, for which i am doing the verification manually. I want to use the login() to let the user login to his account, order products. For which i created my own backend to query the model with the phone number all this part until authenticate is working fine. but i am not able to figure out how to use login from here. below is a snippet of what i created.
Backend:
from .models import Customer class CustomerModelBackend(object): def authenticate(self, phone_number=None, password=None): try: user = Customer.objects.get(phone=phone_number) if user is not None: return user else: return False except user.DoesNotExist: return False def get_user(self, phone): try: return Customer.objects.get(pk=phone) except Customer.DoesNotExist: return None
Views.py
customer_backend = CustomerModelBackend() customer_exist = customer_backend.authenticate(phone_number=phone) login(request, customer_exist)
Here customer_exist is getting customer object as expected but login function is throwing global name not defined. importing login from contrib/auth is throwing backend not defined.
Someone please advice what to do.
Thanks.
