Comment (by Andy Martin):
Here's the user model:
{{{
from bson import ObjectId
from mongoengine import Document, StringField, BooleanField, DateTimeField
class User(Document):
id = StringField(required=True, primary_key=True, default=lambda:
str(ObjectId()))
username = StringField(required=True)
password = StringField()
is_active = BooleanField(default=True)
is_staff = BooleanField(default=False)
email = StringField()
first_name = StringField()
last_name = StringField()
last_login = DateTimeField()
}}}
In our settings.py, we have the following values set:
{{{
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'mongo_auth.MongoUser'
MONGOENGINE_USER_DOCUMENT = '[...snip...].admin.models.User' # (points to
User model defined above)
}}}
If you think it should be the responsibility of the person overriding the
user model to make sure it works fine with Django's contrib.auth
implementation, that's fine with me, although googling for the error
message shows other people seem to be hitting the same issue.
Let me know if you think the use case is valid and, if so, I can look into
making a regression test.
