How to add a post-login information to an authenticated user?

[Khanh Tran]

I am using out of the box django 1.5 authentication solution. After authenticated, i want to add a 'post_login_info' to the user using user_logged_in signal from django.contrib.auth.signals

from django.contrib.auth.signals import user_logged_in

from django.dispatch import receiver

@receiver(user_logged_in)    

def post_login_action(sender,user,request,**kwargs):

    user.post_login_info = 'post login info'

    

However, i can not retrieve user.post_login_info from request object later as follow:

from braces.views import LoginRequiredMixin

from django.views.generic import ListView

class MyListView(LoginRequiredMixin,ListView):

    def get_queryset(self):

        self.request.user.post_login_info  # Attribute Error: 'User' object has no attribute 'post_login_info'

        ...

Thank you for any suggestion.

Even though i have not directly answered my question, i found out that session storage is an alternative solution.
