I'm currently coding a website with Django and I successfully implemented an external oAuth2. (I'm not using any libraries) the problem is that the user is saved in the database. I would like to avoid it for hosting costs reasons.
In my current project, the oAuth2 is purely for verification purposes.
Is there a way in Django to log in a user in without saving him to the database? I would like the website to keep him logged in if the page is refreshed but logged out if the page is closed.
Thanks!

So, I'm adding on another app to a webapp that I'm building for my company, this one involving bill creation for invoices. Unless one has a specific account with my website, they should not be allowed to access this specific app.
I am using Django's built-in authentication system. My LOGIN_REDIRECT_URI is set to redirect to one of my apps. However, I would like for the login redirect to send the user to the app that they were previously in after login. How might I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance!
I am preparing a multitenant website on Django using tenant-id for identification (and not schema). Now, for tutorial, I would want to have a webpage with sample login and password (like Django CMS does). However, I don't want to store user data from that login/password combination, so that the data would be availabale for each session and as soon as the user logs out, the data deletes. Is there any application/packages that could help me with this? Otherwise, how can I do this?
I'm currently using django-auth-ldap to authenticate with LDAP, and I've looked through all the docs for the library, it doesn't mention what happens to the django database when the database we are authenticating against removes the user.
I know we can do a check when we authenticate to make sure if the user is removed, but how do I clean up the user since a user will be created if it's successfully authenticated. Do I just do it like I'd normally do with Django user object?
Thank you!
I am developing an application using Django 1.4. When I log into admin site in another tab in the browser, the application interface in which I am already logged in automatically logs out. Please help me in solving this issue. The browser I am using is Firefox. Thanks in advance.
Admin is also a user in django. So, you can't have more than one user logged in at the same time in the same browser, can you? Try the same scenario on facebook. This is what it is. You re fine, there's no problem.
On the side note, if you are just getting started with your project use Django 1.5.
Well you cannot log into the same website with different login ids simultaneously until and unless you dont use some plugins for this feature or you are opening different ids in the incognito window.
Since admin is a superuser(still a user), hence you cannot open a multiple django accounts in the same browser. One account will be logged out in order to open the other one. This is no issue. Happy coding.
The Django admin site is just another page of your Django main website. Say if you have foo.com, then foo.com/admin/ shows you the admin portal.
And we already know that two users cannot be simultaneously logged in to the same website from the same browser.
So, you can test on your foo.com site, being an admin user itself. Experience on the Django website for any user will be same, it doesn't change with user being a staff member or superuser. Only admin site has different permissions based on these factors.
In this case, you'll be able to use both the main site, as well as admin portal.
But if you really want to use different user accounts for admin site and main site, then you should either use different browsers or Private window in Firefox.
I am trying to integrate django sanction into my blog app (django newbie here), but I seem not to be able to "logout" the user after the login process (using Google OAuth2.0).
The entire process seems pain free - i.e I am able to get all user details on my db, and able to access user details on my django templates, but, when I logout and try to log back in, it seems to remember my credentials (cookies?). I am trying to logout from here
p.s: I am developing on localhost - wondering if this is the problem(?)
See here: How to force user logout in django?

I don't think there is a sanctioned way to do this in Django yet.
The user id is stored in the session object, but it is encoded. Unfortunately, that means you'll have to iterate through all sessions, decode and compare...
