Django UnicodeDecodeError at /admin/login/

[Supermario]

I try to implement this hasher in order to be able to authenticate user who are imported from drupal 7. 

So I put the hasher in the settings.py as follows:

PASSWORD_HASHERS = (
   
    'myproj.drupal_hasher.DrupalPasswordHasher', #drupal hasher
     
    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
   
    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptPasswordHasher',
    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher',
    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.MD5PasswordHasher',
    'django.contrib.auth.hashers.CryptPasswordHasher',
     )

However it does not authenticate imported users from drupal and for users who are created in Django I get:

    'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xcf in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Here is the trackback:

All source and destination database tables are converted to utf8_unicode_ci.

I am stock on this problem for days so really appreciate your help.

Did you read the comments on that snippet? It appears there may need to be some extra encoding/decoding needed (example additional code is listed there), which would make sense given the decoding errors you are seeing.

Hi James. your hint  was actually very inspiring.

After concatenating  'drupal$' to the imported password, I was still unable to authenticate. Then I realized that the passwords are in unicode but the hasher considers them to be ascii, so I added :

password = password.encode('ascii','ignore')

at the begining of the both 'encode' and 'verify' methods 

This solved the problem and saved my escape rout out of drupal :)

Thank you very much for your hint.
