Hi, I created my own authentication backend which gets users from another table (webforum). I used http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/#writing-an-authentication-backend as a starting point and the final backend looks like this: http://rafb.net/paste/results/gaXtif32.html
Now when I import authenticate from django.contrib.auth and type authenticate(username='AUserWhoSitsInTheWebforumDB',password='HisCorrectPassword'), I get an User object. I set is_staff=True, too. Yet, when that user tries to login to the administration-area, he just gets redirected to the login form. No error message. When I overwrite his password with a "native" Django one, it works. What did I miss? authenticate(...) works. I added my backend to settings.py, too.
