Re: Authentication when usernames are not unique

BTW, I reread you're last note. The references to AbstractBaseUser were meant for inheritance, meaning that your custom user would inherit all of the same properties and not need to redefine the wheel. You can't inherit from AbstractUser though because you are modifying the username field. -James

That's an interesting (but understandable) requirement, which means you are probably in for an interesting time. Undoubtedly you'll need to roll your own authentication backend ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/auth/customizing/#authentication-backends) and a custom user that

Just as a case study, Shibboleth does this by having unscoped and scoped usernames. The scoped username should be globally unique and takes the form of "u...@school1.edu". Unscopped is not globally unique, but unique for a particular scope (ie: "user"). It's temping to say "ahh... email address!"
