I also ran into this issue recently. Say I have users signing up for user accounts to my site. When the user signs up their account is created but set to "not active". I also store a guid in the db assocaited with the users account. I then send the user an email with a link to activate the account, with the guid attached to the query string. When the user clicks the link, I look up the guid and activate the account. At this point I would like to log the user in, but because the user has not provided me with the username and password I can not call the authenticate method.
My solution was to not log the user in, but make them enter their credentials. But I do see this and some other scenarios where I would want to call login() without calling authenticate() first. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
