django.contrib.auth.backends.RemoteUserBackend

class documentation

class RemoteUserBackend(ModelBackend):

Known subclasses: django.contrib.auth.backends.AllowAllUsersRemoteUserBackend

This backend is to be used in conjunction with the RemoteUserMiddleware found in the middleware module of this package, and is used when the server is handling authentication outside of Django.

By default, the authenticate method creates User objects for usernames that don't already exist in the database. Subclasses can disable this behavior by setting the create_unknown_user attribute to False.

Method	`authenticate`	The username passed as `remote_user` is considered trusted. Return the `User` object with the given username. Create a new `User` object if `create_unknown_user` is `True`.
Method	`clean_username`	Perform any cleaning on the "username" prior to using it to get or create the user object. Return the cleaned username.
Method	`configure_user`	Configure a user after creation and return the updated user.
Class Variable	`create_unknown_user`	Undocumented

Inherited from ModelBackend:

Method	`get_all_permissions`	Undocumented
Method	`get_group_permissions`	Return a set of permission strings the user `user_obj` has from the groups they belong.
Method	`get_user_permissions`	Return a set of permission strings the user `user_obj` has from their `user_permissions`.
Method	`has_module_perms`	Return True if user_obj has any permissions in the given app_label.
Method	`has_perm`	Undocumented
Method	`user_can_authenticate`	Reject users with is_active=False. Custom user models that don't have that attribute are allowed.
Method	`with_perm`	Return users that have permission "perm". By default, filter out inactive users and include superusers.
Method	`_get_group_permissions`	Undocumented
Method	`_get_permissions`	Return the permissions of `user_obj` from `from_name`. `from_name` can be either "group" or "user" to return permissions from `_get_group_permissions` or `_get_user_permissions` respectively.
Method	`_get_user_permissions`	Undocumented
Method	`get_user`	Undocumented
