I believe the intention would be to store the single backend against the user ID on login, so this would be safe for sessions loaded after a second backend is added. Obviously code using this convention would need to be updated when more than one backend is used. I think this would be a good plan, I reckon that most sites use only one auth backend anyway. > > Cheers. > Tai. > > > On Saturday, May 23, 2015 at 6:58:35 AM UTC+10, Unai Zalakain wrote: >> >> Hi Paulo! >> >> >If the application has only one backend we always infer it in the login >> >function.
