3609	BasicAuthenticationMiddleware: Use Basic HTTP Authentication to log (django users)  in	pterk@…	Adrian Holovaty	"This is a patch against [4649]. It allows users to log in with Basic HTTP Authentication i.s.o. login forms using some simple middleware (entire patch is ~50 lines). I was unaware of http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/GenericAuthorization so I'm not sure about its usefulness in the long run. 

You can enable it by including 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.!BasicAuthenticationMiddleware' in your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and then adding the following lines in your settings.py:

BASIC_WWW_AUTHENTICATION = True

WWW_AUTHENTICATION_REALM = ""djangolures.com""
