I have a view function I am using for logging in people. When I am
deploying it to Apache/Mod_python, I am unable to login, but If I am
running it on the development server, I am able to login. Any
pointers?
(I am not using the builtin login, as I want to use newforms.)
The view function is,
def login(request, template_name='registration/login.html',
redirect_field_name=REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME):
"""Displays the login form and handles the login action."""
redirect_to = request.REQUEST.get(redirect_field_name, '')
if Site._meta.installed:
current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
else:
current_site = RequestSite(request)
if request.method == 'POST':
login_form = forms.AuthenticationForm(request.POST)
login_form.set_request(request)
if login_form.is_valid():
# Light security check -- make sure redirect_to isn't
garbage.
if not redirect_to or '//' in redirect_to or ' ' in
redirect_to:
from django.conf import settings
redirect_to = settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL
from django.contrib.auth import login
user = login_form.user
login(request, user)
request.session.delete_test_cookie()
return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_to)
elif request.method == 'GET':
login_form = forms.AuthenticationForm()
request.session.set_test_cookie()
return render_to_response(template_name, {
'form': login_form,
redirect_field_name: redirect_to,
'site_name': current_site.name,
}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
The AuthenticationForm is,
class AuthenticationForm(forms.Form):
"""
Base class for authenticating users. Extend this to get a form
that accepts
username/password logins.
"""
username = forms.CharField(required = True, max_length = 30)
password = forms.CharField(required = True, max_length = 30,
widget = forms.PasswordInput)
def set_request (self, request):
self.request = request
def clean (self):
user = authenticate(username=self.cleaned_data['username'],
password=self.cleaned_data['password'])
if self.request and not
self.request.session.test_cookie_worked():
raise ValidationError(_("Your Web browser doesn't appear
to have cookies enabled. Cookies are required for logging in."))
if user is None:
raise ValidationError(_("Please enter a correct username
and password. Note that both fields are case-sensitive."))
elif not user.is_active:
raise ValidationError(_("This account is inactive."))
else:
self.user = user
return super(forms.Form, self).clean()
