django.contrib.auth.middleware.RemoteUserMiddleware

class documentation

class RemoteUserMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin):

Known subclasses: django.contrib.auth.middleware.PersistentRemoteUserMiddleware

Middleware for utilizing web-server-provided authentication.

If request.user is not authenticated, then this middleware attempts to authenticate the username passed in the REMOTE_USER request header. If authentication is successful, the user is automatically logged in to persist the user in the session.

The header used is configurable and defaults to REMOTE_USER. Subclass this class and change the header attribute if you need to use a different header.

Method	`_remove_invalid_user`	Remove the current authenticated user in the request which is invalid but only if the user is authenticated via the RemoteUserBackend.
Method	`clean_username`	Allow the backend to clean the username, if the backend defines a clean_username method.
Method	`process_request`	Undocumented
Class Variable	`force_logout_if_no_header`	Undocumented
Class Variable	`header`	Undocumented

Inherited from MiddlewareMixin:

Async Method	`__acall__`	Async version of __call__ that is swapped in when an async request is running.
Method	`__call__`	Undocumented
Method	`__init__`	Undocumented
Method	`__repr__`	Undocumented
Method	`_async_check`	If get_response is a coroutine function, turns us into async mode so a thread is not consumed during a whole request.
Class Variable	`async_capable`	Undocumented
Class Variable	`sync_capable`	Undocumented
Instance Variable	`_is_coroutine`	Undocumented
Instance Variable	`get_response`	Undocumented
