This code gives you the ability to authenticate a user by their email address instead of the username. I've also added the ability to authenticate via LDAP.
Some code used from this snippet
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 | import ldap
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.core.validators import email_re
AUTH_LDAP_SERVER = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
class Authenticate:
def authenticate(self, username=None, password=None):
try:
user = User.objects.get(email=username)
if user.check_password(password):
return user
else:
try:
l = ldap.open(AUTH_LDAP_SERVER)
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
return None
try:
# Attempt to bind to the user's DN
l.simple_bind_s(username, password)
try:
user = User.objects.get(email__exact=username)
except:
return None
# Success.
return user
except ldap.INVALID_CREDENTIALS:
return None
except User.DoesNotExist:
return None
def get_user(self, user_id):
try:
return User.objects.get(pk=user_id)
except User.DoesNotExist:
return None
