It's because you need to login the user (authenticate don't login only get
the user )
It's something like this:
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login
def my_view(request):
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
if user.is_active:
login(request, user)
# Redirect to a success page.
else:
# Return a 'disabled account' error message
...
else:
# Return an 'invalid login' error message.
...
